[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 632371, member: 17461"] There was a time when I lost my faith. I don't necessarily mean in God, because I have never been formally religious. I mean that I lost faith in my belief that there was some purpose, some higher beneficence, some meaningful spiritual evolution that unified and gave meaning to the way things happen, whether we can understand it or not. I lost that. I read this three or four times., trying to get it. I think there is no one who has not suffered, no one who has not loved. So the key phrase here has to do with brokenness and mercy. And acceptance without faith in higher purpose or even in healing. How could RR know this to this degree, as you said, COM. So, here is the question. Are we all broken open in this way? Can there really be this much pointless, unremitting, unredeemable pain all around us, this much loss? Cedar [/QUOTE]
