Healing

When I began my journey looking for healing, I hoped that some healing might come to me through other people.  I might make friendships, or find a therapist.

I might even fall in love, and find healing through intimacy.

§

But the opposite happened.  The more I sought healing, the more difficulties I had with people.  They were distant, hostile, irritable.

I could not find a therapist, nor did I fall in love.

§

Now I find healing in flowers, Nature, but never people.

It is in the sound of rain falling, but not through friendship.
