In this thoughtful monologue, Richard Rudd lays out a personal path through the minefield of control issues that plague so many of us. Using his own life as an example, he shows how a contemplative approach can help us resolve deep issues of feeling powerless. Taking as an example our wish to end the suffering of those we love, he shows how this can be turned back on ourselves, to create a new level of agency and valour in our lives. Thus our inability to control painful external situations becomes a source of multiple gifts. Deeply life affirming and applicable to us all, this is a wonderful contemplation of the possibility of always finding Grace amidst suffering.
