We are a part of nature. We are nature. Mother Nature wounds herself as she transforms year after year, season after season, sacrificing herself for the needs of her children.

But in time, those very wounds are healed, with the balm of her sap, the decay that provides nourishment for richer growth and new land that emerges from the oceans. Her strength lies in her determination to come back to life, time and time again.

So too do we wound ourselves and yet also have the innate ability to heal the same wounds we have created. Be strong, keep in faith and live in love.
