from Island of the World by Michael Obrien - page 587-588
"would I like the gift rescinded? of course! Yet in the strangest level of myself I know that it is a gift none the less. how else do we know God's rescue unless we have been drowning. Can healing be demonstrated without injury or love proven without trail? Still there is an ache within me that cries out: what of those who are not protected, who are left unhealed, who do not know love? the reply is articulated by - and can only be articulated by - God dying with us on our cross."
