Quotes
“There is a light in this world, a healing spirit more powerful than any darkness we may encounter. We sometime lose sight of this force when there is suffering, and too much pain. Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge.” ~ Mother Teresa “The greatest healing therapy is friendship and love.” ~ Hubert H. Humphrey |
Reflection
Poet and activist Maya Angelou turned a traumatic childhood experience into a catalyst for creativity and achievement. Healing involves the process of seeing the potential that still exists despite all that has been lost. When we shift from suffering and anguish toward integrity, wholeness and inner peace, we are experiencing healing. Helen Keller observed that “Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” |
