There are times when asking "Why?" can bring us such pain. Maybe knowing the reason we are going through our suffering would help ease the confusion. If we could just make sense out of the chaos, maybe it would help us navigate through these difficult times. But we are often met with silence. Our questions and prayers seem to go unanswered. Our heart feels as if it is literally breaking as we walk on this broken path. Even when our struggles cease to be, we may never understand the "why". But we do know that after going through these adverse times, we will never be the same. There is a new found inner strength that has grown within us. If the only thing that we have discovered during our struggle is that we are still alive, then we have learned a powerful lesson. Today, live in the moment. Move beyond the past, for it can never be redone. Keep from fantasizing about the future, for it will blind you from seeing the realities of today. You are needed here in the moment to take care of yourself. Do not get lost in thoughts that hold no purpose and take you down the wrong path. Your strength comes from within, not from asking "why".
At first you may not see it, but there is beauty hidden within the branches...
(I am aware of the suffering that surrounds me and it hurts my heart to know that there are so many that are in pain. But trying to make sense of what is happening by asking "why" stops me from moving forward. For there are no real answers and even if there were, it doesn't make the senseless suddenly become sensible. I hope that in our growing awareness, we bring attention to the ugliness that has been hidden for so long.)
