i humbly add a little prayer to all those whose prayers are surely
bigger than my own. i think of bert's teaching in constellation work
where we say 'yes' to the reality and 'thank you' for that reality
because in some say it will serve to make us grow in our humanity. it
may nurture our strength, it may encourage community, it may foster
compassion and love, it may allow us to move beyond the pain into
something bigger than ourselves. these are just a few of my personal
ideas to try to explain my understanding of this bigger whole picture
of which we only see a tiny part. i see this in the coming together of
this group. i see it in the desire for a healing of the land (ie.rain)
that we here in our group seem all to hold.
with this in mind, then, i say "yes" to the full reality of this event
and to all that unfold as a result of it.
i also say "thank you." we cannot know the magnitute of what may or
will come of this event and while we are in the midst of this trauma it
is difficult to see anything to be thankful for. but we say thank you
for all things....not just those that appear to be 'good.' i offer
then a small prayer of saying "thank you."
