It is an uphill process that takes commitment, work, and perseverance--especially when everything around you feels heavy and overwhelming." It reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by Saul Alinsky "Change means movement. Movement means friction." In order for change to take place--both within our own lives and souls and the world around us--we must not hesitate to go and do...to put our hands into action and serve. This movement however can bring "friction"...feelings of heaviness and lonliness. I have found over time though that when the feelings of heaviness come that I am not alone, but am surrounded by friends who are trying to make the world a better place and are standing by me....I'm with you Ema...Don't give up. You are doing amazing work and daily I am amazed at your perseverance through the struggles....You give me hope...RIAHhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11207131870892558690noreply@blogger.com
