That’s what happens in
our hearts. The holes do not disappear, but scar tissue grows and becomes part
of who we are. The same takes place in nature. As the famous Spanish architect
Antoni Gaudi observed, 'There are no straight lines or sharp corners in nature.'
The most stable structures in nature— like trees or spiderwebs— have angular
and curved lines. As our hearts grow larger, and we learn that scar tissue is
not so ugly after all, we accommodate what we had thought would be unendurable.
And we realize that the wisdom we have gained would not have been possible
without the losses we have known, even those that seemed impossible to bear. [Daniel Gottlieb, The Wisdom We're Born with: Restoring Our
Faith in Ourselves]
Just the other day it dawned on me that I’d NOT found my
word for 2015. I suppose this is largely due to NOT having looked ahead; my
usual reflective Time in December and January were taken up with BEing in each
moment caring for Mum.
I don’t think of Time the same way Now. Still, somewhere
deeper inside of me I was considering and BEing thoughty.
Resilience came knocking the other day. I recognised it
straightaway as my point, my purpose, mayBE even my intent for 2015.
I am listening. Deeply.
I love you, Currie
