Hurting and Healing

Some hurts can only be healed by giving them time. There is a mystery in that. Life itself, with no help from us, can bring about the healing we most hope for. We need to remind ourselves to get out of the way and life go on. The memories of the hurt churning in the mind are the biggest obstacle to healing. What we can do to help is find a healthy way of steering the mind towards more profitable pursuits. In this way work can be a great gift to us. But all of this needs to happen without mania. Let it happen and give consent gently to the great mysterious creation that is our reality in this life.
