he said. "You are the rock. Things have happened in the past but we must let them go and move on. You can do that, help the others to put aside anger and focus on the things that need to be done."
So when, within a few hours, I was sitting in front of the computer screen swearing and getting very very angry, and persisting in this behaviour while recognising that it was unhelpful and wrong I kind of knew that something had to change.
Surprise visit from someone very high up gave a chance to talk about the issues, to clarify how we will do things, who does what and how we communicate with each other. Very professional. Very helpful. Very wise. Again within a few hours a sudden realisation of lighter shoulders and lighter heart. Thank God.
A few spare minutes late in the day to rethink, clarify concerns and be convinced that there are important issues to address. Send off email with some anxiety. And then this morning the gem. There on screen.
St Teresa of Avila: Let nothing disturb you; let nothing frighten you; all things pass; God alone does not change.
Walking with light step, heart knowing something new about healing, about judgement, about GRACE. Thanks be

Oh my, I cannot tell you how much I needed to read that Teresa quotation just now. Thank you for passing that particular blessing on.
It was a blessing to me too Ruth - guess that's why I shared it
