By Shiloh Sophia
how does healing happen?
is it…forgetting a little at a time that which hurts
and waking up one morning just feeling a little bit lighter
is it…finally forgiving yourself and the world
by understanding, somehow, we are all wounded with you
is it…realizing that the world is whole after all or accepting
that the world is broken open and has need of your love
is it…noticing a whole day, week or month has gone by
without beating yourself up in the old ways
is it…realizing that this is just how it is right now
and somehow this is oddly, unreasonably, not personal,
or about you at all, this is about us
is it…allowing shadow-work and light-work to co-exist without
striving for either one to be greater or better or good or bad
is it…being willing to lean into your resistances until
the edge of your hardened places creates tender spaces
is it…opening your heart, yes again and wider still,
to a new face, a new heart, a new idea, yes,
a new chance even in the same life you have now
how does healing happen?
chances are, it is happening right now
let’s look with the eyes of love
find the healing fields are ever present
we are co-creating them together
This is our human story,
we are creating this together,
what part in the story will you play?
what story will you tell?
Amen
