hitku:by Deborah Julian* * * *What a paradox: that we connect with God, with divinity, in our flesh and blood and time and space. We connect with God in our humanity. A great truth, attributed to Emily Dickinson, is that “hope inspires the good to reveal itself.” This is almost all I ever need to remember. Gravity and sadness yank us down, and hope gives us a nudge to help one another get back up or to sit with the fallen on the ground, in the abyss, in solidarity.Stitches: A Handbook on Meaning, Hope and RepairAnne Lamott [via Alive On All Channels] -- source link
