Healing Is a Return of Range
Healing often appears as the quiet return of range and possibility.
Healing is not always the disappearance of pain. It may be the return of range: the ability to laugh without guilt, trust with discernment, plan beyond the next hour, or enter a familiar place without becoming the former wound.
Look for capacity, not only symptoms. Notice what has become possible again. The evidence may be quiet and easily dismissed because it does not resemble a dramatic cure.
Honor the small expansions. Walk the extra distance. Accept the invitation. Speak with a little more of your true voice.
A life can widen while tenderness remains. Healing often sounds like room returning.
