It's not that bury-your-head-in-the-sand kind of hope in which you close your eyes and pretend angels are shielding you while a tornado ravages the house above you to splinters. I get that though. There are some events that we cannot cope with in the immediate. Reality suddenly becomes a place where we cannot stay. You have to check out to in order for your spirit to survive. And what a blessing that is, in that moment. But staying there, building your way of life there, becomes problematic. The tornadoes keep coming.

So true!
ReplyDeletebut unfortunately always dealing with these harsh realities will make our spirit tougher and insensitive and incapable of understanding and enjoying beauties of the life which sometimes are less visible to us!
