Thera-Prayer

"Let's toast to my last therapy session!" my girlfriend proudly announced. harris

"Last? Are you sure that's a good idea?" I teased her.

The truth behind my crass joke was something very heavy. Something no child should ever endure, and no adult should have to heal from. Yet many do. Sexual violation.

And for those spared that particular brand of pain, there's always negligence, abandonment, cruelty, loss, or just human-suffering-in-general that leaves so many of us "with issues." Hungry aspects of ourselves looking to be fed... fractured splinters of ourselves looking to be mended. But who can love us whole? A therapist or counselor? Well, they are great at teaching coping skills, and behavior modification. But loving us whole? No way. Freud, Jung, Adler... neither they nor their theories have what it takes to transform our wounds into something beautiful. They ask us to settle for coping, when transformation is possible.

Showing Up

Just when I thought WShowingUp

You'd forgotten all about me,
You show up out of the blue.

A message, a flower, a guide.
Something speaks to me
and it says You.

I bet You've been there all along,
and since I wasn't expecting You,
I missed Your appearance.

Open up my senses
so that I may let You in.

Raging Heart

WRaging-Heart

I feel my anger overpowering me.
I have lost my sense of balance
my sense of control
my sense of security.
Now I stumble my way to You and ask You,
lay a calming hand over my raging heart.

Give me the wisdom to see my righteous anger
as an alert to danger,
so that I can respond by caring for myself.

Help me resist the desire to treat my anger as a weapon,
so that I will not perpetuate hurt
by responding with aggression.

And please teach me grace,
so that I may know peace by learning to forgive.
