Don’t turn your head.
Keep looking at the bandaged place.
That’s where the light enters you.
And don’t believe for a moment that you’re healing yourself.
– Rumi, in It’s Not All in Your Head by Tony Giordano

Live & Learn 
But believe that the light and time and those whispered prayers of ‘please , please, please’ and ‘thank you thank you thank you’ make all the difference in the world

I object rather with Giordano’s title: Everything is in the head…. or as HH says: Tout est dans la tête.
I thought that rather preposterous all those many years ago but have learned that, if not ALL (everything), but the biggest part of everything we say, think, prepare, mull over, stems from the head first – whereas what we should do, is think with the heart first….
And I wonder how many times you’ll have to read this until and even IF you’ll understand what I mean if I’m not even able to put it into words…. 😉

I have many memories of me, as a child, on my bed, holding my hands and limbs up to the slatted sunrays coming through the half-closed wooden shutters in our cheap, charmless but homely childhood appartment, studying my fingers, toes, the playing of light and shadow….. Fond memories.

WHAT CATHÁL SAID
“You can sing sweet
and get the song sung
but to get to the third dimension
you have to sing it
rough, hurt the tune a little. Put
enough strength to it
that the notes slip. Then
something else happens. The song
gets large.”
–Tess Gallagher
