: Hal, : It's good to see you posting. Haven't seen you around for a while. Sorry to hear that things aren't working out so well for you, either. I don't know what's going on, but keep your chin up. You're an excellent, worthwhile person and deserve the best life can offer you. Yes, you're poem is great and uplifting, too. : Hope things pick up for you. Please know that you are not alone and are cared and thought about as well. : Cecil : : No words of wisdom from me either, so I'm not sure why I'm writing except to show my support. I don't have to tell you that I know exactly how you feel. I've been having some bad days too. And so I know that nothing I say will "cheer you up." I can't promise that everything will turn around and be peachy soon, because I just don't know. All I really can say about the job thing is that somebody there made a poor judgement call, but I know that doesn't help you feel any better about it. : : Now that I think about it, I can share this thing I read last night, and sent to some other friends this morning. I hope it helps us all find some meaning. : : - Hal - : : ------------------------------------ : : "To those beset by suffering, : : the following has been told: : : There was a man who had a young child. : : At times the father sought to frighten the boy. : : He would dress up in strange clothing : : so that his son would not know him. : : At first the child was frightened, : : but as time passed he came to know : : that this too was his father. : : Then he would call out "Father!" : : and the father, filled with compassion, : : would take off the disguise : : and reveal himself to his son. : : So it is with those who suffer. : : When they come to understand : : that it is God Himself : : who is the source of their pain, : : they can then begin to call out to Him. : : But those who do not see that all is from God : : and seek their cure elsewhere- : : these will never find true healing." : : - from "Your Word is Fire - The Hasidic : : Masters on Contemplative Prayer"
