Is there a true Emotional Healing that can take place? ....
#1) Like any wound ... you will never be the same there is the scar factor ..... on our physical bodies there are the marks of past wounds, like small diaries from our past that tell a story ... for some the scars are more then small diaries they are major novels with outstanding credentials.
#2) Emotional Wounds you can't always see, nor can you detect if they are there or not in others, only by getting to know someone do they become obvious. Not everyone is aware of Emotional Wounds in others ..... For some life is a series of one wound after another and they become so calloused and so wounded they can not deal with anyone else who is wounded.
#3) Not everyone wants to see the emotional scars and wounds of others. They want life to flow on, unhindered un-dammed .... free flowing ... as a canoe drifting down a slow moving stream in the summer time ..... They do not want to prepare for the fall's rainy torrents that can happen in a heartbeat in the stream of life .... sadly I have seen people unprepared as their small canoe of life spins wildly out of control in the swollen river of their life and the whole time they are screaming this isn't happening ... I am in control ......
#4) I believe there is a time to enjoy and to drift in the gentle streams of life but to be lulled into a sense that this is reality is a false sense of security that can quickly be dashed to a million pieces. It is but a moment in time to relax and enjoy what you have .... but inside of this comes the responsibility of the "canoe owner" to ensure their "muscles" have proper training to paddle and to hold the canoe steady in the water and to learn to not panic and rock the boat in rough white water currents .....
You can get beat up fast .... if your boat of life tips over! ...... If you survive, if you don't drown, if you were prepared .... you can make it.
#5) Emotional Healing .... has a time frame all of it's own .... a surface wound heals in a matter of several days and sometimes in several hours, you hardly can see where the injury occurred. But there are those wounds that are deep, and wide and need special care ... and don't heal fast. A deep physical wound sometimes has to be packed as a healing process to keep the wound open so it doesn't create a false healing on the surface yet be teaming with infection inside .... to heal it up .... it takes skill and time. Other wounds can be healed up faster but a person keeps picking at the scabs on the wounded area and keeps opening it up .....
#6) Everyone has emotional wounds, Some of the sweetest flowers must be crushed to release their beautiful fragrance. .... Others release their sweet aroma after a hard rain, A tree's bark & woody trunk gain beautifully sought after grains from strong winds and blowing storms that rage year after year through the forest. The sequoia nut must fall hundreds of feet then lay dormant on the forest floor and go through a fire before becoming soft enough to produce another sequoia tree. Humans without emotional wounds are often shallow and surface people with no depth. Unable to withstand even the slightest ripple in their life. .......
