Wounds

The wound is where the light enters you.

~ Rumi

This quotation by Rumi makes sense as one intentionally focuses on that which is hurting. Healing is becoming stronger - to fortify the body and make it whole again with an increased sense of resilience. Through a wound, the light enters. All that we endure and survive, though sometimes taking us to the breaking point, does make us stronger if we are willing to do the necessary things to make it so. All failure is an opportunity to learn. All hurt is an opportunity to heal. With no black, there can be no white - the yin and yang are necessary to understand opposites and to then determine what it is we shall pressure internally and through our interactions with others. Our wounds force us to dig deep and uncover the ample positives in our lives, obscured by pain. You stub your toe, and all your energy focuses on the pain, oblivious to the rest of your body which may feel fantastic. The light is the goodness rallying around the hurt. We either see the light or we do not. Often, we never take the time to look.
