After a long week of seeing clients, last night, I found myself saying these words over and over: we must make meaning of our lives. Beside the fact that I have taken to speaking for a collective “we” even in my private thoughts, possibly a result of my stage of life, what I found myself saying made sense—-to me—after sitting with one person after the other who could not make meaning of their lives.
Our ability to be vulnerable first with ourselves, and then with others is far from being synonymous with weakness or being broken or needy, as is so often believed, It is in truth our most reliable strength in a world where ideology and lies are used as weapons, between friends, family members, and even partners.
If you surrender by going with the flow, you always end up exactly where you belong. It is the method of letting things flow naturally in whatever way they like. There is no past, no future; everything flows in an eternal present, and there is nowhere to go and nothing to do in this meditative state.
“He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4
