Much of your pain is self-chosen. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self.

And if you would know God, be not therefore a solver of riddles. Rather look about you and you shall see Him playing with your children.

You shall see Him smiling in flowers, then rising and waving His hands in trees.
