Not knowing the narrative


Someone was upset with me this week because I wasn't able to share as to why I was upset. I explained that it didn't make sense for me to tell a whole story – it's what's underneath the story that is always way more important. We often thirst for the details when actually all we need to do is just be alongside. I sobbed my way through the church service again this morning (and if I can't lay my burdens down there, where can I?). One lovely person came to hold my hand. A couple of other lovely people gave me a hug. People offered to listen but actually all I needed was the reminder that I'm not on my own. I just have unresolved hurts – like all of us – and am getting plenty of lessons/opportunities to deal with them.
