In the face of grief, anger emerges as a natural companion, reflecting the depth of our love and loss. This anger, whether subtly simmering or fiercely ablaze, can be misdirected or even aimed at the divine. Amidst this turmoil lies a profound spiritual journey, where our beliefs are challenged, and our understanding of God is shattered. As we confront our groundlessness and the inadequacy of our previous perceptions, we are invited to embrace the unknown and allow ourselves to be broken. Through tears shed not in anger but in healing, we find a path to genuine connection with the divine, transcending societal norms and reclaiming our spiritual essence.
May we embrace the rawness of our grief,
allowing the flames of anger to illuminate our path,
shattering illusions of the divine,
and guiding us to a deeper,
more authentic connection with Mystery.
