SEEING IN THE DARKNESS

Appreciating the Paradox of Posttraumatic Growth

Compassion for ourselves arises in the practice of opening to our own suffering. The mere presence of suffering is not enough. Consider how easy it is to become hardened by devastating loss or hardship. Mindfulness offers a way to change our relationship to suffering by surrendering our need to reject it. This is an act of kindness to oneself. Our own suffering offers an opportunity to become openhearted rather than merely oppressed.

PAUL FULTON, Mindfulness and Psychotherapy

At home that night I thought of the suffering he had endured. It had stripped him of all that was false.

GEORGE CRANE, Bones of the Master
