the lifecycle

how impressive it is to me that the world really truly exists to suffer and heal and it manifests itself in turning of the heart and forgiveness, sorrow and joy, work and rest, and time really does heal all the suffering. We will not experience ultimate healing, ultimate joy, ultimate rest until the End but we will. Have hope. Thanks be to God that we receive glimpses of these perfections, in a loved one's words, in your child's laugh, in a cherished friendship. Thank you for the gift of healing, forgiveness, joy and rest that you have given me today--even if it only lasted for a moment. The precursor was worth it.
