There is a place in each of us that wants to heal .
There is a place in each of us that wants to heal , that can heal , that will heal.

It's a peaceful place , one of nourishment , replenishment , peace , safety , comfort , and joy.It's a place of love and acceptance.

It's a place of forgiveness , honesty , openness , nurturing , and kindness.You can find it quickly , if that's what you're seeking.You will recognize it instantly because of how it feels.

It will bring you back to center.It will bring you back to calm .It will bring you back to joy.

When we come into contact with the other person, our thoughts and actions should express our mind of compassion, even if that person says and does things that are not easy to accept. We practice in this way until we see clearly that our love is not contingent upon the other person being lovable.
