Healing our wounds

There are times when we are hurt. Inevitably, all pain is about longing for yesterday, whatever we had before, whatever used to be. But when pain doesn’t go away fast enough, we criticize ourselves for not getting over it, for not being strong enough, or even for being vulnerable in the first place. That’s not how wounds heal. They don’t obey our wishes. Healing takes place in its own way and in its own time. How did healing come about? The way wounds heal is a miracle. Inevitably, they heal on their own. All we have to do is not let our hungry ego demand that the pain for away on a certain timetable. We need to have faith that the pain will pass. After all, pain is an emotion and no emotion stays forever.

Emotional wounds are the same. Sometimes these wounds do not heal because the mind gets all involved. All of this min talk just interferes with the natural healing process. When you feel deeply hurt, you have everything you need in yourself to repair the damage. You want compassion, understanding, and nurturing in order to heal. But most of all, you need time. When you are hurt, be close to people who love you and who can tolerate your pain without passing judgment or giving you advice. As time passes, you will long less for what you had yesterday and experience more of what you have today.
