On Pain...
"Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility: For his hand, though heavy and hard, is guided by the tender hand of the Unseen; and the cup he brings, though it burn your lips has been fashioned of the clay which the Potter has moistened with His own sacred tears." ~Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
I've recieved several e-mails lately questioning my haitus from my blog. After each one I'd immediately go to blogger and attempt to scribe yet another chapter of my life. Only, each and every time I'd find myself stuck...unable to put into words the pain I was expieriencing. It was too big, too much...so I usually x'd out the session and continued stressing the pain.
No lie, it has affected every aspect of my life. A brother is hurting. But a brother is also learning just how strong he is.
Someone asked me a few weeks ago what has been my greatest accomplishment to date this year. I thought for a minute and then answered: forgiveness. I've truly learned how to forgive. Nothing, and I do mean nothing compares to that. Now if I can only learn the importance of letting go...
Somebody pray for me...
