We Have Come Through

Finally it happened. You knew soon as you woke up this morning. Finally, you have broken through the fog into the light.

Sometimes life grows murky by degrees, with change so imperceptible that you never feel the fog start. You only know that, increasingly, your journey has become difficult. Maybe there’s a specific problem with a relationship, a job or a deadline.

There can be any kind of nuisance: Repairs to your home, the illness of a loved one, your own physical worries. Newspaper headlines could match your inner doom and gloom, or set it off.

Or maybe there’s no outer reason, and you know full well the problem lies within. Somehow you just don’t feel like yourself. And you wonder, will you ever?

You fear growing old or losing someone dear to you. At such times, getting through even one day demands so much, nearly more than you have. Still, you hold tight to your faith and keep doing the best you can.

As for those great things that you co-create…it could be all you can manage just to cry out to God, “Don’t leave me.”

Then one day, you simply find that the fog has blown away. Anything seems possible. Life is good, and not just because you demand that it must be so.

Goodness, ease, confidence, clarity and the silence within — they’re simply back. It’s like going outside and, for the first time in ages, you look up to find the surprise of a big, blue sky.

Why does human life make us go through those fogs? If only there were some easier way to evolve.

Well, when the day comes that God gives you a planet to create, see if you can do any better.

Meanwhile, keep this song in the back of your mind. Keep it ready for times when you need consolation. And be prepared to sing it for the people you love.

It is the song of human triumph, God’s victory march through the ages. In heaven, you may hear all the words but here on earth it’s enough that you recognize the first line:

“We have come through.”

I just didn’t have time to write something new in honor of today; I’m busy packing for a month-long tour in Japan, doing my sessions with clients, and last night staying up very, very late, so grateful.

John McCain’s concession speech really was his finest hour.

Obama’s victory speech inspired me deeply. That set the tone for the excerpt I chose to share with you today.
