We drove past Sarinah Mall 10 minutes before the bombings and shootings started. I got out of Jakarta on the last flight that same night.
We worry about a lot of things, don't we? I don't know if you have noticed, but things very, very rarely work out the way we think they will.
How often I hear people say, "Worrying won't help", or worrying is not going to change anything." As true as those words are, they don't empower people to say, "You're absolutely right. I won't worry anymore."
Situations that make us nervous or uncomfortable and circumstances that are heartbreaking are an inevitable part of the journey. We must find a way to maintain our inner peace even in the midst of these times. There are no easy answers or solutions to our wrestle with worry. This is soul work.
