THE CHILD FALLS DOWN
The child falls down in a tantrum of being thwarted,
a passion of frustration,
a fear of being left,
an overwhelmingness of anger,
of desire exceeding capacity,
in a despair of not being powerful enough.
Wisdom calmly says, “Here is a place to howl.
Howl all you want.” Then
“Angry howling will not bring her back.” Later
“Would you like a tissue?” and
“You are welcome to sit in my lap.” Then
“Would you like some juice and a bit of bread?”
(The Means and the proof of Recovery)
Redeemed by Love we can choose work.
Fed, we can develop ourselves.
This is what Christianity is about.
