Soul Food: Week of September 14, 2025

This week’s respectfully offered daily meditations:

Sunday: Only people who are capable of loving strongly can also suffer great sorrow; but this same necessity of loving serves to counteract their grief & heal them. Leo Tolstoy

Monday: I hear the loved survivors tell how naught from death could save, til every sound appears a knell & every spot a grave. A. Lincoln upon death of Anne Rutldge

Tuesday: What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us. Helen Keller

Wednesday: No one ever told me that grief felt so much like fear. C.S. Lewis

Thursday: Nothing that grieves us can be called little; by the external laws of proportion a child’s loss of a doll & a king’s loss of a crown are events of the same size. Mark Twain

Friday: Grief can’t be shared. Everyone carries it alone; his own burden in his own way. Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Saturday: God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can & the wisdom to know the difference. Unknown
