The above view is
from the porch of the healing weekend. “The truth that many
people never understand, until it is too late, is that the more
you try
to avoid suffering the more you suffer because smaller and more
insignificant things
begin to torture you in proportion to your fear of being
hurt” - Tomas Merton

"Inner child work is essential. It's the essence
of growth as a whole person" - Cheryl Richardson
"One of the
saddest things of all is that so many adoptees and moms
are afraid to take the risk of healing which is necessary
to pursue one's dreams"
"... as we lte
our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. As are liberated from our
own fear our own presence automatically liberates others."
- Nelson Mandela
"There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our own inherent weakness of purpose." Elbert Hubbard
"The bond between a mother and her child is naturally
sacred. It is physical, psychological and spiritual. It is
very resilient and very flexible. It can stretch very far -
naturally.
Any artificial or violent injury to this
"stretch" constitutes a serious psychic trauma to both
mother and child - for all eternity.
This means that children need their mothers and mothers need
their children - whether or not a mother is married or
unmarried."
- Mothers On Trial, The Battle For Children and
Custody, by Phyllis Chesler, copyright 1986, 1987
"You will not grow
if you sit in a beautiful flower garden, but you will grow
if you are sick, in pain, experience losses
and if you do not put your head in the sand, but take the
pain and learn to accept it, not as a curse or punishment
but as a gift to you with a very, very specific purpose."
- Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
"Only eyes washed by tears can see clearly" - Louis
Mann
"Guilt is the most useless of human emotions.. It is
worrying today about something that happened yesterday and
cannot be changed." - Anon
"Guilt is the most merciless disease of man. It
stains all the other areas of living. It darkens all
skies" - John D. MacDonald
`Not
to have knwledge of what happened before you
were born is to be condemned to live forever as
a child.' - Cicero
(c. 106-43 BC)
"There are ex-husbands and ex-wives but there are no
ex-moms, ex-dads or ex-children" - Anon
"The horrors of war, pale beside the loss of a mother" - Anna Freud (and the loss of a child) - JS
"Adoption Loss is the only trauma in the world where the victims are expected by the whole of society to be grateful" - The Reverend Keith C. Griffith, MBE
"Emotional sickness is avoiding reality at any cost. Emotional health is facing reality at any cost." - M. Scott Peck
"All children behave as well as they are treated" - anon
"The past isn't dead...........It isn't even past" - William Faulkner
“The only way around is through” - Robert Frost
