The light at the end of the tunnel is probably sunlight, not an onrushing train. The ceiling is not about to cave in. And even when those things happen, I’m still willing to believe things will be ok again. "Every minor world that falls apart, falls together again."
Your posts being me so much joy, but more than that, they make me THINK. I am so grateful for your daily gratitude lists. I came here for the first time through a Substacker I greatly admire (Holly Rabalais), and you have reached me not because of your area of focus but for the very real, very human way in which you write. You always touch me.
Been wanting to tell you that for a long time. Thank you for the words you write.
Absolutely. I am realizing the book is both a record and a guide. When these emotions come over me it is most definitely the embrace of God. It is not joy, it is not sadness or remorse. It is pure love. And every time, I feel gratitude and I feel the strength to continue. I meet God almost every morning in this way, and every time I am sent forth, like you, knowing by my gut alone that everything is going to be okay!
Great read. Almost three years and I still cry when I overlay the old life onto the second one. I hope I never lose the private tears.
