She turns to the nun." I don't know exactly, I saw a face that looked like a long lost memory trying to push its way back into my head. Something powerful, something good." Michael was right. She had pushed all the memories of her father's death deep into the back of her mind, including Elathan. She shakes it off. .Kerri E. Lorenz
About This Quote
In the biblical book of Jeremiah, a man named Elihu is sent by God to answer Jeremiah's complaints about how he is being treated. God tells Elihu that Jeremiah's problems are not his fault. In fact, God says that Elihu will be punished by being turned into a woman. The analogy in this quote is that when we have a problem, we must find a way to deal with it rather than dwelling on the fact that we have a problem.
We cannot change our situation by thinking about how unfair it is. If we focus on what we do not have, then we will never be able to solve the problem. In the case of this woman, she was worried that she had lost her father and was worried that she would lose her memory when she woke up from the surgery.
She was worried for everything for her future, but when she looked at her life, she saw only happiness for herself and no problems at all. She became so focused on what she did not have that she forgot what she did have.
