“Here on this side of eternity, we are asked to survive unsurvivable loss, and times of wailing, gnashing of teeth, heartbreak. It’s not a good system. If I was God’s West Coast representative, a job for which I am uniquely suited, I would have created an easier way through life, a way that made more sense and didn’t hurt as much… I am consumed with the need for spiritual medicine. But the horrible truth is that if we want the healing, we start with the revealing. Thus every so often one gets to see what a total asshat one is, beneath the charming and witty persona. It’s a necessary nightmare on the path to Union with all that is good, or that is at least somewhat better.”
