It is a frightening thing when control is taken from us. During these past days without electricity, we have been very aware of the vulnerability caused by this power-lessness. But I have been thinking about how many other times we feel powerless in our lives...the death of a loved one, sudden illness, loss of a job, lost relationships...to name a few. What coping mechanisms do we use? Do we look to a higher power to help us? Does prayer offer solace and comfort, serenity?
I wish you peace during those moments of uncertainty...and someone to walk with you, to guide you. Be gentle with yourself......
