A Healing Continuum

Even at my worst moments

I can see how my present experience

Applies to the plan for my life.

Pain

Hurts, fears, grasping

Past or present or future

Looking outside myself

For that which I think I need.

Lost

Love

Comfort, trust, giving

Only present

Looking inside myself

For everything I have ever wanted

Home

Joy

Peace, faith, purpose

Now

Everywhere

Full

God

At any given moment I am in touch with what needs to be

healed and the source of healing.

Without judgment, I can move back and forth. Or I can get help.

I imagine myself in the center of a ring of pools.

I see my consciousness moving

From pool to pool. There is a pool for sorrow

and a pool for joy and a pool for doubt and a

Pool for anger and a pool for love.

When I move from one pool to the other, the last pool

Does not disappear, they peacefully coexist.

I can glance or I can stare or I can explore.

So much pain, so much love, so much joy
