Time heals

We’ve often heard the phrase, “time heals all wounds.”

Those with old, still-painful wounds may disagree.

But without doubt, time can offer perspective. And there is healing in perspective.

Time helps us to accept that we cannot change the past. It gently reminds us that what we have is now. And again, now. And yet again ... now.

And moment by moment, we continue.

Healing does not happen through the passage of time alone, but through our growing ability to tell the story of pain, hurt, and disappointment as a scene rather than a final chapter.
