Falling up

I was given a book a year or two ago which I skimmed, read some parts and then put down.  I don't think I was ready for it.  It's a book by Father Richard Rohr called Falling Upward.  I think right now that I am doing a lot of this, falling upward.  Being broken leads to humility, self awareness and growth.  Still, it isn't the most wonderful idea to wish upon one's life.  Kindness to oneself may make us move away from the experiences of sadness, loss, guilt and hurt.  Maybe, it is with kindness that we gravitate and continue through experiences in which we know the end so that we can grow in the journey.
