"Healing is..."

"Healing is..."

Healing is...
The sweet taste of presence
The wide grin into the void
The embrace of prostration
The kind head nod to inadequacy
The forgiveness of flaws, past
The forgiveness of mistakes, future
The forgiveness of disappointment, present
Forgiveness

The stretching of seconds
The slow creep of warmth in a hot shower
The permission to slow down
Discovery at the soul's pace
The sway of my soul to the music of my life
The certainty in this rhythm
The conversation with God always on the tip of my tongue
Timeless

The silent roll of tears
The taste of utter reliance on God
The restful contentment therein
The sincere apology for the sake of God
The sincere apology to God
Sincerity

Worship...made sweeter by the hurt.
