Fears and Tears

When I find you, I find myself because I am a part of you and you are a part of me. The amazing thing is that you are everywhere, far and close, speaking through every encounter I experience in a real and concrete way.

He who seeks God will find Him everywhere at all times. St. Alphonsus Liguori

I am shown a foundation that is being built with those I come into contact with. That we are all needed and fit together, like a jigsaw puzzle. Each piece is different, but when together, become a beautiful, seamless image.

That things don’t always make sense at the time, and it is difficult to see the whole picture, that we might just get a glimpse of it. But to recognize that we are connected in our humanity, and that we belong to each other, as brothers and sisters, with our unique gifts that we have to offer.

That each of us is needed, each of us is called, and each of us is loved; and that in finding you, I find myself.

Isn’t it funny how day to day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different. C.S. Lewis
