Book Excerpt
Writing in Community
Whenever we think back to the pain in the world, the pain we ourselves have endured, we want to find a reason for it. We want something good to come out of suffering. A new baby comes into being as the result of the pangs of childbirth—can’t all suffering have such happy outcomes? There are times when it is difficult to find the silver linings to the pain that is part of living. But one thing we can say: whenever we allow ourselves expression in the face of life’s hardships, we learn the value of every human experience. We learn to accept the bad with the good, and through this acceptance, there’s the opportunity for transformation.
