why do we continue to shun.. rue.. the darkness.. the negatives.. the losses.. in life.. if we could only accept them as a real part of life.. as real and true as the positives.. to let ourselves weep openly.. to empathize with another's loss without making it a spectacular catastrophe.. a topic of conversational gossip.. the struggle to 'look good' would lessen.. lightening our societal burdens tremendously.. if we are all one.. part of the same divine light.. who are we looking down on.. who are we looking up to.. where do we truly stand..

Thank you Steve, have you heard the zen story of a scholar who burnt all his books after enlightenment..
Real life is that He causes the rain to fall on the just as well as the unjust...also the sun to shine on both. We must accept that I guess.

It took me a few years as being a Christian to fully understand that our Holy God did not promise that there would be always "good" things that happen in our life. Like the unbelieving world, we also have "bad" things that happen to us. The amazing and big difference is that God does promise to always be with us in those times of sorrow and to never let us go.
I really enjoyed reading the posts on your blog. I would like to invite you to come on over to my blog and check it out. God bless, Lloyd
Thank you Stan, the real truth is that each seeks him desperately.. but in vain.. for how can we see him till a single blot of darkness mars our horizon.. till the acceptance of ALL his creation without exception..
Thank you Lloyd, when we caution our children, it is because we are able to see things they are too young to understand.. even to the extent of sacrifices that really hurt..
Our Western culture has some strange practices. We allow others a week or two of processing and grieving a loss and tell them they now need to move on. For our own personal losses we allow all the time we need, but we hide it so others don't tell us to just move on. What is our deal? Great post Zahir. God bless. Feel free to come visit my blogs.
thank you 'ITS'.. the most heartening part of emotions is that they don't recognize boundaries or cultures.. reminding us again and again of the seamless fusion of the human and divine.. threading each one of us.. into a singular whole..
