Yesterday, I listened to a very interesting interview between Terry Gross & Julia Sweeny, SNL’s “Pat”. Her experience with religion is a lot more interesting than my own, though there are parallels. I was impressed with her clarity, amused by her wit, familiar with her anger, and moved by her ability to go past anger into a healthy perspective. And she has a blog. Worth checking out, I think.

I’m not catholic, so I can’t co-exist with those teachings, but the anger over her brother’s death is very common.
VERY. I felt much the same way when my mother died at the age of 44. From the lyrics of “Farther along”:
“When death has come and taken our loved ones
It leaves our home so lonely and drear
And then do we wonder why others prosper
Living so wicked year after year”
It’s human to think in much the same manner. Anger at death and the natural question of “why”? What is the ‘real’?
We all go/have gone thru that.
Oh, crap, I just heard her credit Deepak Chopra with her realization of “truth”. ’nuff said.
I think you misunderstood her meaning. She listened to Deepak Chopra, then learned real science, and learned the difference – that was the point of mentioning him.
