Inside the wound, a spiral


It is not an error
that you have been born
a sensitive human being,
with a tender nervous system
and a heart that is sometimes
broken.

Inside the wound, a spiral.

The tenderness there,
the shakiness, the grief…
not an error
to be remedied
or cured…

But a doorway to essence,
a portal to life.

My new online course - The Path of the Wounded Healer - starts on May 19 

My new book - A Healing Space: Befriending Ourselves in Difficult Times - is now available for pre-order at Amazon and will be published by Sounds True in November. 


We've decided to leave our monthly online community, Befriending Yourself, open for enrollment during these uncertain and challenging times. For more information, please visit the course page here
