healing
here's my thought du jour: it occurred to me that while it is true we cannot control tragedy or misfortune, neither can we stop healing. healing is a force natural as water. and, like water, is powerful and always finds a way forward. it's a process as natural as the seasons or photosynthesis. it will happen. whether our bodies or souls, healing is a miraculous, daily phenomenon. i mean, it even happens while we sleep! we can unintentionally delay healing, of course. but we can also cooperate by noticing what it wants to do and cooperating. are there any blockages we can remove? sometimes it's tempting to succumb to noticing all the brokenness, which is very real. sometimes i don't give enough credit to the potential healing has. while it may not always happen in the ways we would like, the built-in mechanism of healing can't be stopped. like the springs that bubble up out of the ground...
