What use is spirituality when you are really upset?
That’s an angry way of putting it, but when the proverbial has hit the fan – when your world has turned upside down, and you are feeling rejected, abandoned, angry, fearful, desolate, sad, furious and sad again – is spirituality, and spiritual practice, any help at all? Is there a Quakerly response? Can one have all these feelings and still connect with a sense of something greater? That’s the question facing me right now, and I would like the answer to be yes.
