STILL MORE SPIRITUAL GROWTH...AND LOVE

I was with friends last night and Joe shared a story about our recently deceased friend, Sandy. Joe said that many years ago, when he was going through his own personal hell, he'd invited Sandy to share with him how he, Sandy, had gotten through his time in the crucible.

Sandy told Joe that he was not going to like the answer which he then laid out: Still more spiritual growth and love. That's all. There's the answer to any and all of life's muddles, puzzles and problems.

Not by speaking words of acceptance or of denial but by the unresisting silence of love can the slings, arrows and accolades of life flow through and disperse leaving nothing but a memory...in the form of our still more spiritual growth.

Thank you...and thank you, Sandy.
