The mysterious nature of time

[Confused]

Seems your sorrow, in that respect, is doing its job: helping you develop those faculties of will and faith. This has been true of my own confusions and sorrows. May we walk into our respective valleys with rod and staff in hand.

True, Gary. It seems like the principal work of catalysts is to develop the faculties of will and faith. A new dawn will be born.

I am so glad your family is disclosing the Creator to you, giving you great cause to be as the knight errant, valiant upon his journey to live a life dedicated to principles of service, dreaming the impossible dream.

At the moment, my wife and my son are the only reason that I am still sane and living a 'respectable' and 'accepted' life in society. Having plumbed the depths of mental abyss due to psychological torture and trauma, I do not know what would have become of me by now if my dear wife had not consented to marry me despite listening to all my woeful and deeply distressing tales. She is an exemplar of light and hope for me, in that respect. Because, she prevented my total slide or collapse into darkness from which I could never have been redeemed, at least as far as this earthly life or incarnation is concerned.

In all my attempts to reply to others in explanatory fashion, I realize thanks to your exquisitely chosen quote that a seed concept for contemplation may be far more effective than a great deal of words.

Some, like you, have chosen actions over words in comforting and ministering to others. I have not forgotten the 'gifts of love' that you and some other dear friends, together, sent my way some four years ago.
