"It was none of these that Elijah was sent, but only to a widow in Zarephath in the land of Sidon" Luke 4:26
When I was reading the Fifth Mountain by Paolo Coelho about 2 years ago, I encountered this same verse from Luke which was part of the Gospel yesterday. Each of us is being called somewhere to do something, and to know and accomplish that mission is our purpose. It may very simple but as always, there is drama involved. What better way to learn than from experiencing these tragedies ourselves and learning from the heart.
Tragedies are temporal, like the town of Akbar and as it is described the mountains gaze silently down on the ashes of Akbar. Like the mountain, timeless are the lessons of the tragedies in life we cannot avoid.
