You have such a great way with words, ransomnote! You say with such succinctness and clarity the things that, to me, are often nearly impossible to verbalize. Thank you for taking the time to write them down. You are a wise woman!
I went through an extended time of anxiety and uncertainty, coupled with “the unknown”, and numerous hours spent alone on the road with time for introspection, not all that many years ago. That experience taught me a lot of these same lessons, and also helped me to remain relatively stable during the present crisis we’re all going through.
This hymn became one of my anthems during my own time of trials, and I thought it would be good to post here:

Lovely hymn. I had never head John Henry Newman’s poem set to music.
