"You've seen my descent gradually, right? Now wait
and see my rising suddenly!"
Joseph Jacson K.
Life brings people challenges and we have the choice to react peacefully and learn or experience irritably and fall. There is no avoiding the darkness. If we hold hope for meaning while searching for the light, we carry a torch not only for ourselves but for others as well. Choices do not singularly impact just one person involved.
Minimizing the shame and the blame, we wander in the dark in search of wisdom and healing. It may seem that the pain is never ending, until life shifts, streaming light right in. As we gather strength and new vision, possibilities become opportunities and we become radiant once again.
The Biblical telling of Good Friday demonstrates this very thing. The worst possible thing happens, creating rage and despair, but it is followed by the example of life after life which embeds greater understanding and aspirations. With time, we can not only survive, but thrive in a new way of living.
