Reflections at the start of 2020
Mary writes:-
Whatever our present reality, we know that acknowledging those inner feelings to ourselves and others helps us to prepare for what will come, to live life with truth and courage at our core. Just talking things through with friends or taking the step of seeking counselling is a pretty good New Year’s resolution to follow through. Being truthful about what we are feeling is a bedrock of modern psychotherapy. Remarkably, it is the ancient pattern of the Hebrew Psalms as well and in them are songs expressing joy and depression, repentance and anger, loneliness and a longing for justice. There is no dressing up the feelings for an outside audience, the Psalms are raw and honest before God and about God. Another resolution might be to read or listen to the Psalms and let their words speak for you.
