It may not seem clear at the time, but as you walk through the fog, you get to see the light, faintly spreading. There, we understand what seemed so baffling all this time. Could that be the sun coming through the fog? We may not understand the path laid by God, but with time, we enter the incomprehensible. Each encounter is a gift from God, to help us unfold and find our sacred deep. Each loss can open a doorway if only we let it and the crushed heart grows to be a flower. Through loss and love, through all that is spoken and unspoken, we are going back home, to make sense of everything, to be aware of that which we were unaware of, --the purpose of life.”” [Jayita Bhattacharjee](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/jayita-bhattacharjee/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
