outrageous fortune
It's 1.10am and in the hypnotic glow of my computer screen, i'm thinking about the past week and wonder when i will feel whole again.
In Hamlet's words we "suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune." Life always doles out a measure of difficulties to each of us. It's those two words that make all the difference. Our outrageous fortune. When we're crushed like Job sitting in a pile of ash that was our life, it's the outrageous fortune, the epiphany, the promise that God won't let it crush us and will lift us up out of ruin, that makes all our struggles worth while.
There is light at the end of our tunnel vision.
