Sometimes the return of “old” symptoms may be an indication of our healing and needs to be celebrated instead of resisted.

She said with sorrow and tears: 

“I want to die.” 

“I have no reason to live.” 

“I have failed in everything I have done.” 

“What is the meaning of my life?”

                                                              He replied:      

“Life is what you make of it.”

“Nobody can tell you what your life should mean.”

“Have you felt like this before?”

She replied:

“I hate feeling so empty. I feel pain all over my body.”

After a long delay and soul searching she replied:.

“Yes. As a child.”

He replied:

“Perhaps you are healing what you could not face as a child.”

“You are not getting worse. You are getting better!”

“Be OK with what you are experiencing. Welcome it!”

“Your healing is an indication of love returning.”

She replied:

“Yes. Love!”

“That is what I forgot about!”

“The person that I loved the most hurt me the most.”

“I have equated love with hurt.”

“I avoided feeling hurt and hence I avoided love!”

“Ahah! I get it now.”

This poem,like many of your wonderfully written thought provoking works, provides another opportunity for me to read a beautiful poem and to ponder over it long after the reading has ended.
Thank you for sharing, and continued success.
