Going It Alone

Reading today from Krysta Tippett’s Becoming Wise:

“You know, the question isn’t whether we’re going to have to do hard, awful things, because we are.  We all are.  The question is whether we have to do them alone.”

Kate Braestrup

Indeed.  We all deal with troubles.  They are different troubles, no doubt, because any trouble of mine is different than trouble of yours if for no other reason (and there are likely many other distinctions) that your troubles are not, in the strict interpretive sense, mine.  That said, in all trouble there is a commonality.  There is a human heart involved — and, if we are lucky, more than one.
