Up and down, up and down, "yet the great compassion without tiring illumines me always" (Shinran, from "Hymns of the Pure Land Masters")
Julian of Norwich:-
[i]If there be anywhere on earth a lover of God who is always kept safe, I know nothing of it, for it was not shown to me. But this was shown: that in falling and rising again we are always kept in that same precious love.[/i]
