So, I get into my car last night and hear Your Decision by Alice in Chains. Now, was that fate, coincidence, a melding of many decision that led to that point, or...? :)
Time to change has come and gone
Watched your fears become your God
It's your decision
It's your decision
Overwhelmed, you chose to run
Apathetic to the stunned
It's your decision
It's your decision
You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lied
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside
No one plans to take the path that brings you lower
And here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over
It might seem an afterthought
Yes it hurts to know you're bought
It's your decision
It's your decision
You feed the fire that burned us all
When you lied
To feel the pain that spurs you on
Black inside
It's your decision
It's your decision
No one plans to take the path that brings you lower
And here you stand before us all and say it's over
It's over
It's over
I very much enjoyed being part of the discussion last night! It is SO encouraging to hear the different perspectives! I briefly mentioned process-relational theology/philosophy as something that is making more and more sense to me (especially how it bridges the gulf between science and religion). When my mother died a couple of years ago due to vascular dementia, I struggled to make sense of it. Somehow (Divine intervention?) I was lead to some podcasts on "suffering and meaning" and I immediately connected to the ideas of process theology. One of the fascinating things is how there are process thinker all most all the major religions, including Buddhism! Here is a link that will take you to three episodes interviewing Robert Mesle (the earliest interview starts at the bottom). Keep in mind the the hosts are a bit "chatty" (but humorous), so you might want to skip ahead to the main interview:

Again, I VERY much enjoyed hearing all the voices on issues we humans all share!
