“Our world got so tiny, our vision got so
small--confined to the walls of our problems.
“For us it was an IVF clinic, an adoption office, a
dining room table full of pills. For others it’s a law court, a singles’ site,
or a curtained-off bed in a hospital ward. Those facing trials know how life
can soon revolve around a particular room or place. And soon our world is
reduced to those four walls, even when we walk out the door--our minds consumed
with our longed-for, begged-for, not-yet-existent wish. Our world gets tiny.
Our vision gets small. Everyday blessings are missed. We see the pixel and not
the picture, the thorn and not the flower, the pebble and not the vista.
“But life is much bigger.”
--Sheridan Voysey, Resurrection
