Healing. We’ve all experienced it in one form or another. A skinned knee from riding on two-wheels for the first time. A broken heart from the loss of a loved one. Not landing that dream job you’d hoped for. Exclusion. Rejection. So many shades of pain, and yet they all are just as significant as the other.
Healing provides an opportunity to move through pain, gradually, and over time. The experiences may spring forth new and unfamiliar territory, as pain leaves a lasting impression on the landscape of the mind, body, and soul. While the pain may be difficult to encounter in the moment, it always takes me to where I need to go. If we take time to nourish ourselves, resilience, strength, acceptance, and humility are possible passengers throughout the journey.
