A few hours ago, I thought the title of today's blog will be The Good Cry- four of them, maybe even five. However, as I sit down to write, just this one comes to mind, as the day's usual demands blur the earlier parts of the day.
Same with the dreams. Gone are the days when I would wake up and write down the dreams of the night, which I would remember vividly. This morning, I even remembered the name of one of the people (stranger) that was part of my dream. Maybe I should keep my notebook handy, which I did in the past. Also, there's musings and meanderings on the Notes app on my phone. So much material - all waiting to be seen on the light of the screen. As a young mother one achieved more. There was more passion and more Energy. Then Life. Some people let you down, and some people, we let down. More and more, I think Karma, as Samanijis said, yes..but also I am now convinced of Destiny. What else can explain the..?
So, the one 'good cry' moment was revisiting this song, "It Is Well With My Soul," and the story behind it. The powerful moment came at the start of his singing, when he said,
"It is in the quiet crucible of your personal private sufferings that your noblest dreams are born and God's greatest gifts are given, in compensation for what you've been through." Wintley Phipps
The word CRUCIBLE, with what eloquence has he chosen, and how well he says it.
Wintley Phipps tells the story here:

There are several versions of the lyrics, but the following resonated with me most. He sings two of these stanzas.
