It's A Condition

What if all you ask for, pray for, and wish for were already existent? The other half of your longing is the answer. This talk explores a journey I have taken recently to look at this conundrum and face it with more compassion, understanding, and confidence that it is all as it should be.

I too have a similar relationship to melancholia, and I so appreciate your thoughts and your words and where your mind goes as you examine this. Thank you.

I loved this talk! I've been experiencing what I thought was loneliness, but I learned that I was experiencing a yearning for God, because nothing on this Earth can provide that satisfaction or comfort. Today, you've helped me discover a new aspect that I haven't considered, which is that my yearning for God is exactly the same as this embrace by a very old friend. Instead of being sad or melancholic, it is a reminder that He exists and always has been and always will be―and that nothing of this world can replace this old friend of ours. It is another reminder that we were made for More. Not to highlight that we are incomplete or broken, but for us to hope and have faith in the future―which I suspect is the other half (the all too often forgotten half) of Loneliness & Longing.

Thank you, as always!
God bless & Godspeed 💚🙏🏽

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and insights, Trish! I have been pondering many of these same things and reflecting on how I want to live life. Appreciate you and your presence!

Oh wow, Trish. This picked up the exact thought I had yesterday about labeling (pathologizing?) certain aspects of life and took it further. I’ll be listening again! Thank you
