The big events, the ones where there is a before and an after, rarely play out exactly as we anticipate. Because we are expert at creating future realities in our minds. Setting internal expectations and believing what we dream of and plan for will come to pass in the ways we imagine.

Did your experience open your heart to deeper empathy and understanding? Acknowledging and exploring doubts and questions is something the prophets have always done.
