There are years that ask questions and years that answer.

In Zora Neale Hurston’s 1937 novel “Their Eyes Were Watching God,” the main character, Janie, recounts the story of her marriages and journey to self-confidence. She tells a difficult tale, suffused with both joy and pain. Throughout Janie’s tribulations, she learns that the reasons behind some events don’t make themselves known immediately. You may be thrust into a confusing situation, but trust that the meaning of it — and the lessons it has to teach — will reveal themselves in time.
