[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 757594, member: 18958"] Dear OW. I am sorry I missed this post from a couple weeks ago, but so glad the skies have cleared for you. I want to tell you this: I think this earlier post is a strong, strong post. Our strength is in our wounds. The part of us, the voice, that is weakest, feels most shameful, the most broken, can be our strength. When we can summon up the courage to bring this brokenness forth, is the capacity to heal the most apparent. I am not surprised to hear you feeling so much better, soon after. I want to urge a couple of things. In my own experience this is cyclical. We will feel stronger, the sun will have emerged from the clouds, only to find that a few days or a few weeks hence, the storm returns. It is so important to recognize that this is the process. This perpetual need to again have the pain revealed, [I]and to sweep it away. [/I]Based upon my experience, this will continue, as long as we need it to. The pain is our friend, our ally, not something to be feared. Not one, single thing. You are healing OW. I hope you post here in bad days as well as good ones. The worst days in some ways are the best. It is a paradox, I know. Remember, the strength is in the wound. The cure exists present within the illness. We need the pain and illness exposed to the light and the air, to heal. You are doing this!! Keep posting. [/QUOTE]
