Stories of Resilience

The great theologian Howard Thurman says, “Resilience is to watch a gathering darkness, until all light is swallowed up completely without the power to interfere or bring a halt. Then in that darkness, to continue one’s journey with one’s footsteps guided by the illumination of remembered radiance.” 

Resilience has to do with staying the course in the midst of pain guided by a “remembered radiance.” Remembering what was good and beautiful, and holding that memory in the heart while moving forward into the future. We will share ways in which we embody our own resilience.
