Nibbles and Sips II

On the other hand, maybe all we get is nibbles and sips.  Could be that's part of faith.  I'm feeling peaceful at the moment.  I'm trying to think how to put this...there are these experiences we have, where our edges get knocked against.  Feels like someone's petting me the wrong way.  But you stay with it, you hang in there, and eventually things get straightened out.  A moment of peace.  

If this were one of my writing students writing this, I would say something teacherly here, like, "Can you give a specific example?"  And yes, I could, but I'm reminded of Forrest Gump...and that's all I 'm going to say about that.
