The people of God tend to grow in a very set and formulaic pattern (this is obviously vastly simplified): a shadow of life, its death, and life born out of that death. The problems come when we attach ourselves to the shadow of life, and after its death constantly return to it, seeking its resurrection, instead of accepting the loss (however devastating) as a gift of God, bestowed upon us to make way for something new and better.
No intelligent farmer digs his seeds up daily to reminisce with them: they exist for death, and that death exists for life.

Yes; but how to bridge the span--for head to join hands with heart.
