[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 620161, member: 17461"] Child of Mine posted a thread about clouds, silver linings, and learning how to suffer without being destroyed by it. Learning how to know you suffer, and being able to hold that knowledge (the cloud of it) with the sure intention of knowing there is a purpose, a plan, a progression to all of it that we may not be able to see. That part was the silver lining. I'm not sure which thread that was, or whether I have described the concept correctly. It was a comfort to me, to envision being able to come into balance around that concept. I think she called the term "Radical Acceptance." She recommended a book for us, but I haven't read it, yet. Child, if you see this, could you post that information again, for Wavering? In the interim, I will post this quote for you. I just posted this for Strength, too. I used to have it in my signature. Then? I seemed to lose faith with myself. I began sort of jeering at myself for ever having believed it. I must have come through that place, now. "Faith is not, contrary to the usual ideas, something that turns out right or wrong, like a gambler's bet. It is an act, an intention, a project; something that makes you, in leaping into the future, go so far, far ahead that you shoot clean out of Time and right into Eternity, which is not the end of time or unending Time, but timelessness, that old, Eternal Now."
