“Healing isn't about getting back to who you were before. It's about coming to terms with the new you, the one who survived a storm. It's about accepting that some days will be challenging, and that's okay. It's not a race and certainly not a competition.”

“That is why, though Jesus healed individuals, he simultaneously critiqued the systems that made them need healing. In fact, the best way to interpret most of his healing stories is to look at the whys. Why was a man chained in the cemetery (Luke 8:26–39)? Why were the women Jesus loved so often adulterers and prostitutes (John 8:1–11)? Why has a woman with chronic bleeding given all her money to doctors (Mark 5:26)? If you read these stories as if Jesus is only performing miraculous medical cures, you might think “Wow!” for five seconds. But when you ask why the healing was needed, you have a whole new way of seeing what needs to change, which is invariably the bigger power structure: the institutionalized evils that no longer look evil;”

“In her heart, she carries a river of memories, Those unforgotten years, weaving through time. In her eyes is the light of those unerased days, strong as stars in the sky. When wild winds blow, Wild is she, as memories escort her on the dance floor of meadows. Her songs that touched the earth, are woven from the lyrics of the dust where her loved ones are now asleep. So she carries it, a river of memories, the living walkway, the ripples of light between what once was and what now is.”
