[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 634312, member: 17461"] That must have been awful. It makes me feel a little dizzy just to read about it. Must be post-traumatic stress reaction. I swear, my mouth went dry. It helped me to see the intricate connections and interactions happening all around me. To walk into the yard and really examine one of those countless tiny flowers that grow like weeds along the side of the road. Intricately and perfectly made. Every one of those weedy little flowers no one even sees, they're so common, so insignificant...intricately and perfectly made. I thought about all the generations, all the moms, all the pain and loss and love and joy. And somehow through all that, I was able to concede that, however desperately I needed the things that were happening to my children to change...maybe there really was a pattern here. Maybe there really is a purpose I cannot see. They say that at the touch of Eternity, we will understand. And so all those things made me strong enough to stand up. I think I do not smile or laugh as much as I did, once. But I am deeply attuned to gratitude now, and to an awareness of joy. Cedar [/QUOTE]
