[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 673213, member: 17461"] So...sometimes, when I am able to think it, I realize that we are in miracles-in-process. The thing with miracles is that we cannot see them as miracles when they are happening to [I]us[/I]. That is why we have faith. We have faith, and we have our intentions, and that is all we do have. For me, that is where the phrase, "At the touch of Eternity, we will know." resonates. With purpose, and meaning and intent and that idea of miracle-in-process whether we are able ever to understand the losses and the hurts and how it all fits together or not. Disney used to show a commercial: There we are, right in the center of a yellow-pistiled flower. BOOM the camera pans to a whole field of them. It's like that, I think. [IMG]http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/17/137317-004-1F1BDE94.jpg[/IMG] And then, we get it that the pistil are the sexual organs of the flower; and we get it that the flower is living an entirely different life than, in our wildest dreams, we could have suspected. And that is just one flower. No wonder we cannot make the meaning of things make sense. So, we take it on faith and celebrate our miracles-in-process, even when they make us so sad. Some days, I do that. Other days? I am really mad. :919Mad: And that is part of our miracle too, to claim our anger and our joy and our inability to understand that we are intrinsic parts of something wonderful that we do not understand, not the tiniest bit. Huh. :hugs: So, we conclude we are human, and that is a great day to be in. Cedar I am sorry you felt badly about whatever happened on the other thread, Leafy. We all are so raw and so vulnerable, here. Everything we have tried, and we are losing our children, and we are frantic with the loss of it, and in such pain. Whatever it was that happened, the person will not have meant to hurt you. We are all so vulnerable here, Leafy. That is part of the miracle-in-place, too. That this site exists, at all. B. [/QUOTE]
