The following is from the book, Healing After Loss by Martha W. Hickman:
Is everything really all right? Really? Though it assumes different aspects at different times, it is our most basic question. It is behind our ventures into theology and ethics, behind our anguished dreams, our fears and hopes as we stand at the bedside of loved ones, as we confront the mystery of death.
There is no way we can know all the particulars on how "all right" everything is. But if we can trust that behind life's mysteries and dilemmas there is a Creator who knows what is going on and who wishes us well, that's a very good start.
And then what? What could be better than to sing songs and tell stories?
You might also be interested in some of the writings of Albert Schweitzer. Kathy and I have found some valuable insight and perspective from him. As you prob know, he was a doctor who won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in Africa. He was also a noted musician and theologian.
