A chaplain in training once
got a call to stand beside
a woman whose husband died.
The woman’s grief seemed to be
overwhelming . . . to the point
of outrage with God, and all.
The chaplain took on the task
of probing her feelings as
supervisors did probe his.
You do sound angry, he said.
Her outburst rattled his bones,
“Do you not see I’m hurting?”
What a fine lesson to learn:
avoid bluntness with other
when standing by be the need.
