The trials and tribulations of ordinary life are quite possibly the best teachers we can have. These are our regular opportunities for growth, times of exploring ways to deepen our faith and hope, of more fully understanding our journey, of responding to questions of ultimate purpose. Quite literally these are our most outstanding opportunities to renew the soul.  ~Jay B. Heyman

The path of healing is itself an inspired journey. It is a calling that awakens deep inner strength, profound emotional power and an incredible force of couragous action. It is a personal awakening that calls us to face the dark edges of life and the shadows within. 

When we are confronted with great difficulty we are called to open our hearts to all that is restless in our lives. To let our sorrows weep in the gentle soul of kindness, forging tenderness with our fears, teaching them courage and giving them hope. We are invited to meet our despair with compassion and deep wisdom, in the spirit of love...
 

THE INVITATION

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your hearts desire. I doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive. It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals; or if you have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain!

I want to know if you can sit with pain-mine or your own, without moving to hide it or fade it or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy-mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, realistic, or to remember the limitations of being human.It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself; if you can bear the accusation of betrayal, and not betray your own soul It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back. It doesn't interest me where, or what, or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from within when all else falls away. I want to know if you can be alone with yourself; and if you truly love the company you keep in the empty moments.
