Their news will suck you into a big black hole. The challenge of a spiritual self exists every day. It is not how the world works. Every day, we are challenged with fear, anger, sadness and tragedy. These are parts of the continuum, just like love, hope and peace. The challenge is to find your own space, and summon the courage to live in it, even if it sets you apart from those around you. There is loss, there is gain.
