Do not be afraid. Oft quoted words in Holy Scripture, and wise advice any time. We might even chuckle at times as we listen in? There is much more good going on than we can see, and in it, in LOVE (Creator, Great Mystery, God, etc) we are richer than we know.
The Truth of life, of "all things new", of the tension of the "already not yet" is that things must first fall apart. -- Deconstruction precedes construction in that sense.
It is true in Creation and in our personal lives too. While it is uncomfortable, even scary, the Lover of our soul is ever-present and working for good in the midst of it. Therefore, our best recourse is to seek our Lover in surrender and submission, in hope and trust.
All my children (adults now) read Things Fall Apart (Chinua Achebe) in their high school humanities & international studies program, along with Kaffir Boy and others.
Truth is often revealed in the literature of man, how could it not be otherwise? Oh and yes I read those books and others too, but it has been only in this "second half" season that I have "seen" Creator's revelation in them.
