Every so often, if we allow ourselves, we can make an intuitive leap to the next stage of our development. Usually, an event in our lives will precipitate the leap. There is something about certain events, for example a death or a change in residence, that can stir up and break apart our established assumptions about living. We can sit there and mourn the loss, but then we can also see the opportunity in the change in front of us. The time is ripe for growth and insight.
"Sweet are the uses of adversity,
Which, like the toad, ugly and venomous,
Wears yet a precious jewel in his head;
And this our life, exempt from public haunt,
Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
Sermons in stones, and good in every thing."
