To wrestle with god in anger and grief is good.  They take the shape of whatever we need them to be so we can process the memory.  A good father can take the hostility of a son and daughter, to allow for open expression that is honest, in the moment, that touches back into our past, brings the light of understanding into the present, and wraps us in an all embracing grip that will not let go, will not abandon, will not leave us.  No matter how hard we beat, struggle, and push away, or try to escape, there it is, still beside us. 

Why does healing seem to be so difficult for most people in this world?  Are there ways of speeding it up?  How fast can we run this race that life has become?  Is slowing down the key to accelerating our healing?

The practice of daily rituals can become a very powerful way of experiencing the sacred.  A way to remember what we may have forgotten, but has never gone away.  It's a practice because it takes time and repetition and patience to begin the experience of feeling the sacred within, beside, and all around us.  It's taking the time to make a window within time, where we can feel at rest, peace, tranquility, serenity, and a presence, that could mean many things to many different people, yet it is all the same sacred light. 

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत | अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम् || 4.7 ||  Whenever there is a decline in righteousness and an increase in unrighteousness, O Arjun, at that time I manifest myself on earth.  

परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम् | धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे || 4.8 ||  To protect the righteous, to annihilate the wicked, and to reestablish the principles of dharma I appear on this earth, age after age.
