We all bear wounds
They mark suffering we have borne
Suffering we are bearing
Wounds, when sacred
Can reach into the soul
Wounds can open us
To our world
To humanity
To mortality
To a strength beyond our knowing
To find that passageway
You merely need to probe the tender
Gently, with compassion
Touch, Explore the wound you carry
Where does it go to?
What gives it power to cause suffering?
What mysteries may lie
Under the ineffective scar
Which we present to the world?
Sacred Wounds
Explore with curiosity
And compassion
Wallow not in the pain
But feel it, see it, and touch it
With a heart of compassion
Then, embracing it
As a part of you
Carry on
Knowing
In your wounds, your suffering
There can be found
Wisdom, acceptance and forgiveness
Of self
Which brings to the world
Compassion, understanding and kindness
Sacred Wounds
Don’t run
Don’t hide
Be present and listen
To the wisdom of the wound
Breathe and accept
The healing power of the wound.
