"Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing."
Shakespear, As You Like It
Lent always seems to find me even as I scurry away. Looking back on our adversities, we seem to see their lessons, their beneficence. Yes, "sweet are the uses," but that is hindsight.
I wonder if Moses, just for an instant, doubted, before he struck that stone. Doubt gives us the opportunity to forge ahead as Dante says, from "height to height."
Heave Ho!
