i'm rereading Hind's Feet for High Places
i love when books come across our paths at just the right time
and how that sometimes happens multiple times with the same book
this is again one of those times for me
***warning there may be spoilers ahead ;) ***
as i was reading about the main character's journeying with Sorrow and Suffering (the two companions the Good Shepherd had selected to lead her to the High Places), it talked about her learning to take their hands in order to be strengthened and supported on her journey.
it made me think of what it means to take someones hands - the intimacy of holding hands exhibits trust, gentleness, and nearness.
i wonder especially what it looks like to take the hands of sorrow and suffering - to receive them instead of battling against or ignoring them - to receive them and hold on and perhaps press against it gently in order to move along.
