When we experience pain, our deepest passion is to escape the bludgeons of assault, betrayal, and loss....each of us in our own way tries to dull the intensity of our groaning....

Ignoring our emotions is turning our back on reality; listening to our emotions ushers us into reality. And reality is where we meet God.
