Lunched with friends on Sunday.
Our conversation turned to events of this past week. Robin Williams decision to end his life came up. My friend expressed her dismay over the way many in the most conservative wing of our faith tradition have chosen to excoriate Robin, because of suicide.
Robin had an extraordinary gift--not his comedic gift--but the one which allowed him to tap into what being human is, what it feels like, what it looks like, then being able to create a "connect-the-dots" visual--using words, diction and TONE. When we heard him speak we realized "that's it!" that's me! He moved us and made it possible to breath again, he delivered relief and hope because he understood us.
Being that intuitive and dialed in--takes a toll of a person's soul. In the end, Robin could not find his "Robin." Don't be harsh because Robin was too vulnerable; because he couldn't believe his way to a faith based answer. Simply learn the last lesson he leaves us--no man is an island.
That said, we all hurt; there is a healer. His name is Jesus.

Find your glory even here, when the hurt and the healer collide." Mercy Me
