Other times I get nothing.

It's by a Jewish Rabbi who looks towards the story of Moses as inspiration as to how to put life's disappointments in perspective and how to grow because of them. Highly recommended.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-81585200197323562312007-04-16T13:37:00.000-04:002007-04-16T13:37:00.000-04:00Sometimes we have the feeling we're being broken -...Sometimes we have the feeling we're being broken - in truth we are being bent. The "bending" forces us to stretch and grow. It makes us limber, and opens our lungs to take in more oxygen. It offers us a different perspective by changing our vantage point. <BR/><BR/>Go with the bend, don't fight it. You'll spring erect again, in time.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13370568546202869034noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-58282471263968557472007-04-16T13:25:00.000-04:002007-04-16T13:25:00.000-04:00Thanks miz.b, I dunno if we *must* be broken, but ...Thanks miz.<BR/><BR/>b, I dunno if we *must* be broken, but it's funny how often it seems to work out that way.Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06305755944694741335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-42428026446097391702007-04-16T13:20:00.000-04:002007-04-16T13:20:00.000-04:00I wonder if it always has to be that way. Must we...I wonder if it always has to be that way. Must we be broken, in order to be better? I wish there was some way around that, but I'm afraid that there isn't. It seems that we must make room for new fruit to grow, and that means breaking the monotony of what currently exists. I guess if we can accept this, then we won't fear "the breaks" as much, and we can take the time necessary to heal them properly, rather than rush into a quick, yet unsettled, fix.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18002888.post-32021678518375085662007-04-16T11:35:00.000-04:002007-04-16T11:35:00.000-04:00I can relate to large portions of this post.
