Quote by Karl Schembri

“Iftaħ il-ferita u erġa’ iftaħha, u meta taraha se tagħlaq, erġa’ ħaqq l-ostja iftaħha, u agħmel mezz li ma tagħlaqx. Ma tarax! Ara li ħaqqalla ma tagħlaqx dil-qaħba ferita! Għax dan-nies ordinarji ħaqqhom biss l-istmerrija ta’ min jaf u jifhem u studja l-liġi tal-allat kiefra.”

“Ultimately, it’s not enough to simply understand where we’ve been. We also have to consider where we are going. If we want to heal, that means we must learn to move beyond the roles of victim and perpetrator.”

“Many of us are awakening to the potency of the ways and wisdom of our ancestors. Many of us are awakening to the beauty of our cultural traditions. At the same time, we cannot make the mistake of romanticizing ancestral work; reconciliation with our roots can only happen because something got broken! This means that ancestral work can be painful— whether the people in our lineages were victims or perpetrators.”

“There is always sadness. I once heard a friend, depressed, under the influence, with a broken relationship, say, 'The glass is broken, it can't be repaired.' But she was wrong. Things cannot be made as they were, but they can become something else. They can be re-made. All things are impermanent, and every wears down to dust. Everything has its end and each thing carries the beginning of the next thing. Healing is not about re-making things as they once were, healing is about acceptance and forgiveness and love and growth and beginning again. Scar tissue is an inevitable part of life.”
