RevRainbow Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I hope that is one of those momentary "3AM and I cant sleep" poems and not a reflective state of mind, my dear. Your words struck a chord, but it dont sound like a happy song. I'm sending some hugs your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saturninus Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 The dark night of the soul is real. So too is the dawn...This is the hour God loosens and empties. Rushing, consciousness comes unbidden, gasping, and memory, wisdom, grace. -Annie Dillard_________________Qryos,Perhaps there is no balm that I can give, or medicine to cure your soul's ache. But if it is of any consolation I DO know your pain and struggle. While it may not be best for us to go into the sordid details, I want you to know that every spiritual leader from time immemorial has felt your struggle; St. John of the Cross & Mother Theresa come immediately to mind. And who could forget those words of Jesus from from the stake of crucifixion, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me...?"He had only to rise three days later to know the ultimate provision of grace. Once upon a time, I subjected myself to service in the United States military. My constant prayer was that I kept waking up - tomorrow had to be better! Although I no longer subscribe to the doctrines of war, I continue to seek "awakening." If it helps, please find HERE a meditation squence by Michael Gore entitled Sitting in the Dark. It helped me through some very dark times. May it also benefit you.In blessing, BlessWayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qryos Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 ~ Thank you everyone! I'm not suicidal or anything. It's just some stuff slips out sometimes, y'know?Sorry if I upset anyone.~ Thank you Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saturninus Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 My pleasure...All for love - Love for all!Perhaps it was not that you "upset" anyone but rather that you gave us pause to think. For this we should be thankful.Too often, christians put on a mask of perfection...at least I have. God dwells in deep (thick) darkness as much as in unapproachable light. The dichotomy of this is one thing on an intellectual level but can be quite another on an experiential level. I am thankful that you have a safe place to vent yourself here. It makes me all the more willing to share. As a newbie - nothing could be more reassuring.Yours, in peace, i remainWayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
