For Today-

“.....every time there are losses there are choices to
be made. You choose to live your losses as passages to anger, blame,
hatred, depression and resentment or you choose to let these losses be passages to something new, something wider, and deeper”. -Henri Nouwen

As of late I have been digging Henri's work.

Wrestlings

"People who read your ideas tend to think that your writings reflect your life."
Henri J.M. Nouwen

How I love to theorize about what makes life work-
" I know the answers I've given them all"

But theory can not override experience-
"But suddenly now I feel so small"

The harsh lessons of life we do not forget-
"Shaken down to the cavity of my soul"

The answers do not come easy when life does not make sense-
"I know the doctrine and theology but right now they don't mean much to me"

Where do I go from here?-
"This time there's only one thing I've go to know. Do I trust you Lord?"

Time will tell.
