I recently wrote this article for the Huffington Post, inspired by a confluence of things. I have several friends valiantly battling cancer, several who have lost someone very dear in the last two weeks, not to mention others who in the last few months have lost someone unexpectedly. And, the Sandy Hook anniversary just came around the bend. I am in awe of everyone. In awe.
I am training for my first Marathon which makes one contemplate pain in a new way as well. I realized it's got some similarities to emotional and spiritual pain and discovered something that comforts me.
