Someone may have stolen your dream when it was young and fresh and you were innocent. Anger is natural. Grief is appropriate. Healing is mandatory. Restoration is possible. -Jane Rubietta

My dear child, who can tell? One can only tell that, by remembering something which happened where we lived before; and as we remember nothing, we know nothing about it; and no book, and no man, can ever tell us certainly.
Some couples don’t ask much of one another after they’ve worked out the fundamentals of jobs and children. Some live separate intellectual and cultural lives, and survive, but the most intense, most fulfilling marriages need, I think, to struggle toward some kind of ideological convergence. Norman Rush

Love your way of thinking!!
what a beautiful reminder -- I've never read anything exactly like that...
I love this. I absolutely love this. A great way to make lemonade, for sure.
That's not something you do halfway. Good advice.
Yes.
Aw, bless your heart!
How, Maggie? Love needs to take into consideration its opposite. The two most often go together, side by side yin and yang, black and white, cold and hot, love and hate.
Yes, yes.
Yes~

I learned that lesson in a hard, hard way. But I learned it. Oh yes, I did.
this is an excellent reminder of a lesson that I only recently learned.
Thank you.
wise words :)
Amen.
Thanks Maggie.
thank you. i needed that sentiment morning :)
xo Alison
you speak the truth.
Love more.
That's perfect.
thanks for that reminder. your absolutely right! I remember in church one time I talked to the preacher and he said God breaks your heart so that theirs room for him. I love your blog. thanks for stopping by my acupuncture blog:)
But it hurts.
I needed reminding. My heart sometimes feels like it's all balled up.
Thanks Maggie.
Kisses to you!

oh yes
it takes some bravery, but it is worth it.
sigh* that's really great.
Thank you for saying this. It's so true. It hurts like hell, but you just have to let it break wide open, and pour all about the floor... my God, the things you will learn about life, yourself, others...
my heart has a penchant for traipsing the grounds of love, so that means it also seems to be perpetually broken. But, I like to think of it as not broken. Just bruised... but because of this bruising, I have become the better human being.
i was reading this book in Borders last night, which i cannot for the life of me remember the title...and it was written by a woman with four children who was widowed young, and ended up 'gettin religion' and becoming a priest, and this was paraphrased from her book. i LOVED it the moment i read it.
I am really trying....
I also loved it the moment I read it... and more importantly, it freed me of the weight of my emotions (on a current love-issue) and I let everything out.
I feel like if I hadn't read that, I wouldn't have let it out the way I did. Thank you so much for posting it. It really touched me.

Often the best advice is the most difficult advice to follow.
When our heart breaks, doesn't it always break wide open? Then we rush to patch it up any desperate way we can.. unless we are poets, then we skulk around it and milk it ;)
what this means to me is that when we suffer, we can see with greater enlightenment how much love is needed and give this love more easily and deeply to everyone around us.
like labor, then birth.
suffer, then love.
i have found this to be true, my whole life.
its the hardest thing in the world to do. but its the only way to give yourself a shot at happiness.
Beautiful way to turn it around!
oh yeah ~~~~~~ yup. and then some.
