Behind all the stories of grief, estrangement, alienation separation and longing: is a question of faith.
It affords you the ability to massage your pain to pour cold water over your anger to paint a fairy tale on your regrets to cloud your face with a big smile when you are lonely and losing everything that is near and dear and you just want to scream and cry.
Yes! you can scream Yes! you can cry.
It is a question of faith it affords you the ability to see:
where there is grief there is also relief where there is sadness there is also joy where there is worry there is also hope.
We each can become the instrument through which grief is turn to relief
We each can become the instrument through which sadness is turn to joy
We each can become the instrument through which worry is turn to hope.
For this reason, each and everyday someone will make someone else happy;
For this reason, each and everyday someone will make someone else realise a dream;
For this reason, each and everyday someone will make someone else's life easier.
And that someone is you. And that someone is a family member. And that someone is a friend. And that someone is a cause. And that someone is a community. And that someone is a nation.
When all circumstances point to the contrary we always can find the rationale to give up ourselves so that others can be.
No matter how long it may take with faith as a chain of hope its flames burning in our hearts that lost dream may be found.
That yearning emptiness may be fulfilled. That elusive peace of mind will finally be yours.
