Today I learned of the tragic first love of Meryl Streep and I knew it was her Sacred Wound. With all she accomplish in life, she could not save her boyfriend from cancer. I grieve for her and him and realize these are the costs of love, life, accomplishment, and the great depth of soul necessary to live a great life. Forgive me for linking my name with hers, but I can only speak first-from my knowledge and over and over I encounter the “greats” to have suffered deeply in order to create that inner depth, that inner understanding of what’s going on within all of us. I used to think it was just me, but no everyone suffers, and how do they recover, continue…That is God’s question. Maybe how I continue in this life–miserable, joyful, painful and happy life, is the question.
