The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen.” But pain insists upon being attended to. Spirit whisper to us in our pleasures, speaks in our conscience, but shouts in our pains: it is their megaphone to rouse a deaf world... A newborn child has to cry, for only in this way will his lungs expand. A doctor once told me of a child who could not breathe when it was born. In order to make it breathe the doctor gave it a slight smack. The mother must have thought the doctor cruel. But he was really doing the kindest thing possible. As with newborn children the lungs are contracted, so are our spiritual lungs. But through suffering Spirit strikes us in love. Then our lungs expand and we can breathe, live & be ready to take on a new day....
