Inevitable. Baby-steps. Wondering. Imagining: All leading towards a fear of regret? God, how can the choices in our lives fill us with a sense of life and wonder, so that we can walk in peace? How can we hold each other during our choice-making, comforting and catalyzing... so that we dare to make the choices that bring out our deepest, truest truth?
These words have been floating in the back of my mind over the last few days, as I continue to find myself awash in choice-making and wondering which way to turn. I am writing a theological reflection about conflict as quotidian and therein I establish this point: That conflict is not something to be feared as it is often part of the process towards something greater and may, in fact, enable us to reach a more prayerful and communal goal or hope?
This day I ponder the choices of the week and I wonder how I can continue to live life as I always dreamed... God, in your grace.
