Healing

Healing involves developing a degree of mindfulness into painful sensations, developing a place or ground of safety that can contain us as we begin to feel and grieve for all that was lost through trauma. 

It involves finding of a place of hope that lets us know we can survive the experience of renegotiating our trauma with a heart that is opened to both suffering  and love.

Who knows

That in the depth of the ravine

Of the mountain

Of my hidden heart

A firefly of my love

Is aflame
