Default Secret of Survival
From nature comes a secret of survival

While some will falter and fall from a perfect perch,

others will rebuild each nest destroyed.

While some give up without reason,

others achieve greatness in the face of doom.

Some will go on soaring though left alone,

gaining strength from the struggle of their flight

Survivors seem to sense the sun behind the clouds,

weathering a storm just to glimpse a rainbow.

On the wings of life there are gentle currents and rough winds.

Survivors float and fight as each day dictates,

Their hearts set determinedly on the horizen of hope.

The light they follow is their will to live,

The reward they receive is life itself.


From a Healing Heart by Susan White-Bowden

Thank you Alffe. I've read this book over and over again.


Quote:
As with a large, dark, unfamiliar body of water, the depths of grief cannot be judged by what we see on the surface. And the number of lives touched by the ripples of pain are impossible to count. Healing comes with the reflection of time, the light of understanding that eventually pierces the darkness, the acceptance of the unknown, and from the comfort that emerges when we realize we are not alone.
And this is where I'm stuck, not anly with Mark but with my mom. This is absolutely right, you can't judge someone by what's on the surface and that includes if you SI or not, it's in your soul, it's in your heart, it's in your being.

I sense the sun behind the clouds. Does that make me someone who has not suffered as badly as someone else or has suffered enough? NO.

from a healing heart.

Love you BJ *heart
