The poetry, the whole-making: these two steps need to be considered. They are part of life. We think we see all there is to see, we think the picture frame we put around our life, and the spectacles with which we view it, are all there is, but in our moments of being truthful with ourselves, we may just admit that we wish we had been given the instruction manual, that it is all a big mystery.

We went to a dinner meeting about financial and estate planning last night. Why don’t people rush right out after hearing such a presentation and do something? The answer is really pretty simple: the presentation did not address their whole lives. It was, as these universally are, Just the facts, Ma’am, and there is someone in the audience who is saying, “Well, that might fit them, but not me because….” There might be all sorts of things from more facts (“I can’t afford it”), to people dynamics (“my wife would never go along”), to it not fitting the family, to it does not fit my philosophy or theology, to we are just in a different place and this pulls us in the wrong direction, does not promote healing for our family. To really help people with our presentations, we need to hear and respond to all these voices.
