Prompt 19: Healing {via Reverb 10}
"What healed you this year? Was it sudden, or a drip-by-drip evolution? How would you like to be healed in 2011?" (Author: Leonie Allan)
This is a big question and I feel completely ill equipped to answer it. All I can say is there has never been one particular thing that has brought healing to my life, and even though I've had moments of realized progress, it has never happened suddenly. Most of the healing work I've done has taken a lot of intentionality, mindfulness, and a learned ability to love myself. The more gracious, loving, and forgiving I am with myself the more healing seems to come. It requires an enormous amount of work and effort, but in the end healing brings me peace, love, and acceptance. As for specifics, I can't think of any healing in my life that is over with - it all seems to bleed together.
"Our sorrows and wounds are healed only when we touch them with compassion." - Buddha
"When I stand before thee at the day's end, thou shalt see my scars and know that I had my wounds and also my healing." - Rabindranath Tagore
