brought forth all at once

Difficult period of time today watching joy mixed with sadness, happiness mixed with pain, mixed emotions on multiple levels extending tears across spectra of feeling. Watched lives celebrating beginnings touched by ones headed toward ends. Thought about how emotions never make it so easy by appearing alone and isolated; rather they prance with partners, and that swirling is not so easy to comprehend. Like the Lord's character is not some sum of individual parts, the heart struggles with its multi-facetedness in ways I still struggle to bring to peace.
