It dawns on me what a gift stress can be. Like pain, it calls attention to us that something is not as it should be. Of course the opposite of stress is peace, and when we bask in its warmth, the aim is to abide there. The absence of peace calls us to return, and the first step may simply be to give thanks for the reminder to come home.
