Things I had forgotten about healing First and foremost is time and it's ambiguous span It is painful Painful as the wound its self For indeed it is the wound its self It is growth It is learning from the dark into the light And the wanting is always on the dawning of yesterday LGR(C)7/11/13 |

Getting into yourself is a sometimes very painful thing to do, Lori, I agree with you and have experienced it myself. Although no one can truly understand another's pain. All we can do is try. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

I love the healing balm in your ponder-poem, Lori, the pathway being succinctly reminiscent of Plato's allegory of The Cave his "The Republic" which has fascinated me for decades. I really enjoyed wandering through your poem, from darkness into light, the poem becoming more beautiful with every line. Jerry is so extremely right in saying that none of us can ever truly understand another's pain. Owl |

Just gotta remember not to pick the scabs! Healing is a process for most people... sometimes a painstakingly long one. Others sometimes never heal but just learn to live through the pain. Let's hope you're one of the former. Enjoyed the read. Michael |

I like to think I'm the former...If you stop and think about it, at any given time we are all healing from something-hangnail or papercut. And there are the old wounds long since healed that still manage to give us grief from time to time. Some of my most blessed moments have come in times of dispair, reminding me of the gift of growth in hard times. Lori |
