Hello all. I have had an idea ruminating around in my head for quite a long time now. I thought I would try and organize my thoughts here. Life, man, it's so tough. Glennon Doyle calls it "brutiful" which is a combination of the words brutal and beautiful. Life is so full of contradictions. Joy and pain, love and loss, happiness and sadness, heartache and fullness. Everything is a contradiction. Which, as you know, we need in order to truly understand the meaning in life. We can't appreciate the joy if we haven't experienced the pain. Glennon also says, "First the pain, and then the rising." We must walk through the valley of pain and loss and degradation and fear in order to rise from the ashes of our experiences and truly grow and change and learn. I think of the refiner's fire mentioned in the scriptures. We are the gold that must be put through the refining process of the fire in order to be made more flawless. More whole. It is so interest...
Living between multiple points of view. Thought I would share mine in the hopes of finding other people who are trying their best to be their best, or even fairly mediocre. My thoughts from my perspective and experiences.
