You'll cheer, tsk-tsk, sigh, search the heavens, ache, think again, remember when..., nod knowingly, and laugh out loud. You'll recognize the ruts you're in, consider your mistakes, hear a confession, long for your chance, reach for a hug, face uncertainty, sing out, applaud, be surprised, and be grateful. You'll be unbelieving and have faith all at once, finding compassion for yourself and others.
