8. Be gentle with yourself. Don't try to hurry. Healing comes in its own time.

Nov 2014

The strongest, most beautiful people I know, with the most spiritual power and the deepest resources, have all been broken, in some cases catastrophically.

Our hearts, minds, and bodies write to each other like hard drives in a computer, a constantly changing and updating archive of pain and joy.

It can't be hurried.

Acceptance, and then love, are the driving forces that patch the breaks and make them stronger.

Be well. You and your cousin, your neighbors and friends, are in many hearts.

hopefully,
Bright
