In this reflective monologue, the speaker recounts a series of life events—marriage, pregnancy, and a stillbirth that occurred just before her graduation from Palmer. Confronted with profound grief, she questions the mantra that "everything happens for the highest good," wondering if it is merely comforting rhetoric. She wrestles with the temptation to abandon her studies and pursue a different career, but ultimately decides to stay the course, adopting a stance of "believe it and show me the good." During a subsequent performance, she experiences an intense, indescribable wave of love that she interprets as evidence of a higher good at work, providing her with a deep sense of healing and affirmation.
