Barn’s burnt down – Mizuta Masahide CC-BY lemasney<\/p><\/div>\n

“Mizuta Masahide (\u6c34\u7530 \u6b63\u79c0?, 1657\u20131723) was a seventeenth-century (Edo period) Japanese poet and samurai who studied under Matsuo Bash\u014d. \u00a0Masahide practiced medicine in Zeze and led a group of poets who built the Mumy\u014d Hut.[1][2]” – Mizuta Masahide – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia – http:\/\/goo.gl\/2cHtrQ<\/a><\/p>\n

“The moon in this haiku may symbolize many things, but for me, it represents the presence of God. \u00a0While engrossed in our normal routine, our lives are so full of busyness, duty, obligation and hurry that we may never get to know God in an up-close and personal way. \u00a0We may attend Mass and receive the sacraments, but our relationship with our Higher Power may not be experienced on a deeper, more personal level. \u00a0In contrast, when disaster strikes, there\u2019s an opportunity that comes with it. \u00a0We have a choice to make: do we blame God for our predicament and turn away, or do we turn toward our Father and ask for help and guidance? \u00a0One of the slogans we use in Twelve Step Divorce Recovery is Divorce is a gateway to a new reality. \u00a0Sometimes it takes a major shift in our normal routine\u2014one that\u2019s strong enough to break down old patterns and bring us to our knees\u2014to help us see beyond our normal perspective. \u00a0Alcoholics Anonymous refers to this as \u201chitting bottom.\u201d \u00a0While this state is terrifying and confusing, it also brings a gift. \u00a0We have an opportunity to redefine ourselves and make changes. \u00a0Awareness expands and perspective broadens as we grapple with the demolition and reconstruction of our lives.” – Barn’s Burnt Down\u2026 Now I Can See the Moon – <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
