Asked and Received

I've generally had the habit of telling people to be careful what they ask for as they may just get it. I must admit that I've fallen victim to said adage.

I had the pleasure/pain of experiencing something that has not only been missing from my life but something that I need.

A pleasurable experience because it felt good. I felt whole. I was honestly happy.

A painful experience because now that thing is gone and I'm only left with the reminder of what's been missing from my life. The new (and expanded) life that my pre-existing emptiness has gained.

At this point I cannot be convinced that ignorance isn't absolute bliss...

Maggot food. Dead as far as all were concerned. Months later, this cut down, maggot eaten, dried up tree has sprouted new branches with healthy green leaves. You know this tree. This tree is you. You may remember the period in your life when you were cut down, your growth prevented, left for dead. You went through a period of desolation and despair. You learned to do with less, to bide your time, to weather the storm, to survive the "maggots" eating through your structure. Presently it's, thankfully, a memory and a testimony. Presently, new life is evident, you are growing, you are fresh and green. If you are going through your "cut down" period, take heart in knowing it doesn't represent the end. New life and growth is possible. An opportunity t...
