Healing

Healing may not be so much about getting better,

As about letting go of everything that isn’t you 

– all of the expectations, all of beliefs – 

and becoming who you are.

All stories are full of bias and uniqueness;

they mix fact with meaning.

This is root of their power.

Stories allow us to see something familiar through new eyes.

When we are seen by the heart

we are seen for who we are.
