healing

"Healing is a bit like watching a flower bloom. 

You don't really know when it's going to happen, 

and despite the fact that you might be sitting there 

in front of barren ground attempting to will a bare stem to blossom, 

it doesn't happen on command. 

No, it is gradual. Like time-lapse photography. 

And as you are sitting, waiting, pleading for growth, 

you eventually begin to forget that you are waiting 

until suddenly, days later, you look and behold...a bloom."

i know this is true. 

i have yet to "forget" that we are waiting, pleading for growth...

so i guess we have a ways to go...
