In whatever grief is arising for you this week, we invite you to take refuge in your senses with this music.

In my grief, God, I come before You with honesty. I am reminded that many of the psalms are laments where the psalmists did not hold back their anger with You. Even Your Son, Jesus, during His crucifixion, cried out, "My God, My God, why have You abandoned me?"
I bring my sorrow, my questions, even my anger, to You now, seeking Your understanding and comfort. It's just so painful, and I'm afraid. Please help me, God, in these difficult moments to know that I am held in your love. Amen.

As I sat and pondered the fires [in Sierra Madre], I remembered the major fire of 1952 that devastated this very same property. I remembered the hard work and determination of the community at the time and the grandson of the builder of our Monastery (1930s), who helped with the rebuilding. Slowly, I found myself in an atmosphere of gratitude and optimism and hope.
