Creating Recovery

There is a lot of pain in this world. War, famine, oppression, disease, environmental sabotage—this short list paints a pretty depressing picture. And that’s just the wide shot. Up close and personal are the people we know who have experienced chronic illness, abuse, relationship breakdown, divorce, work-related stress and financial instability.

Life can be hell.

But then again…

Zooming in from another angle, we find peaceful neighbors, kind strangers, caregivers, visionaries, enthusiasts, builders, advocates, champions and leaders. One by one, they testify to the power of the human spirit. Hold onto these snapshots. Frame them as part of a living collage; a stirring, vibrant panorama of healing.

Now, put yourself in the picture and focus on you. Get close. Look deep inside. View your self from many angles.

Have you captured your true essence?

Do you see how precious and necessary you are to the rest of us?

Perhaps not yet. But you’re getting the picture.

I am compassionate, resourceful and strong. I am a little bit of heaven here on earth.
