A Patience in Particulars

We are no longer restrained by the dogma of religion in this new world of ours, as all the leaders of faith have been recalled to their masters. Those who remain are confronted by current events, life defying us to believe that all this is for some worthy purpose. The idea of a Divine Design is harder to hold onto now, but many who never believed before, do now.
It is difficult to understand why "God would allow all this to happen" and yet at the same time, grasping the a hope that some end will indeed justify these means we have survived so far is a desire that has grown within each of us over time.
But within that, an new clemency of discussion, a patience in particulars, a grace in the unknown, is developing among us as well. Perhaps the mistakes of our past, the dissolutions of unity via vain attempts to answer all life's mysteries, will refrain from regrowth in this new era we are creating.
In the loss of so much, so much more may now grow. I am enticed by the wonder of it's coming bloom.
