[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 632376, member: 13542"] Cedar, I think we probably are all broken or wounded in some way, and I would venture to say that not all of us have loved or been loved, so there are differences in the way we experience life and love and suffering. It sounds to me as if he is saying that those of us who grow from the suffering, who learn to surrender to it and allow it to teach us, rather then fight, control, blame, judge.........the alternatives.........then we have the opportunity to become whole, to become real, to know grace and be able to touch our own divinity. I believe COM hit the nail on the head. 'The dark night of the soul' is that experience of walking through our greatest fears and coming out the other side, changed......some folks lose all their money, some their coveted careers, some their standing in life, each having that as an opportunity to find that grace, that wholeness........or not. Free will allows us to rail against it for the rest of time...........or not. I see this last two years with my daughter as the darkest time in my life, and I've had some pretty dark times before, but nothing came close to this pain........... I agree. Well said COM. [/QUOTE]
