At the Level of Daily Life, There is Loss

At the level of daily life, there is loss. If we spiritualize it away, we cannot use it to grow. …This usually means allowing ourselves to be touched by life, to participate in it. We learn by experience. The unexperienced life does not teach anybody anything. There are no spiritual shortcuts. Rachel Naomi Remen.

Curing is the work of experts, but strengthening the life in one another is the work of human beings. . . . Sometimes the deepest healing comes from the natural fit between two wounded people’s lives. It makes one wonder about the source of such healing.
