I know I am. Or can be. I wrestle with my own judgment. Sometimes I feel like someone who figured out that she got the placebo - it doesn't work unless you think you've got the drug. You can't go back to thinking you're taking the drug. You know. <br /><br />I can't wait to meet you. We do share so much - and probably believe 95% of the same thing - mostly about grace and love just being there when we need it - and about the thing that connects us, binds us to each other. Grace certainly brought you into my life. Your poetry is another voice in here, singing a duet in my soul.

your posts always move me to tears. I ...Hi Heather,<br />your posts always move me to tears. I think I say this every time I comment, but I'm so grateful for your honesty. You don't shy away from writing out whatever it is that's haunting you. I'm haunted by loneliness, too. Sometimes it's an "all my friends moved away" thing, and sometimes it's more a deep soul ache that I can't find words for. And you're right, you know this, I do turn to God in that pain. Because I do truly believe in there being an Other. An Other who is the genesis of love. And I find small pinpricks of light in being known by that Love... but I never come to the end of knowing that Love—I agree, such "complete" i.e. limited knowledge would be boring. I believe in a completeness and wholeness that my finite brain and heart can't yet grasp. But I have the opportunity here and now to open up to it, to taste it. Really, I think you and I are more alike in our beliefs than is at first immediately apparent. :)<br />Anyway, I join you in lonesickness. Still looking forward to meeting in person one of these days.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13648670450224200162noreply@blogger.com
