'beauty In Diversity'

The process of healing has its own time
We have a propensity to do it in different ways

Don’t rush people to move on with their lives
If they are still a work in progress

Their platform might be different from yours
Their process might differ from yours
Their healing and growth looks different from yours

We have different needs
There is no handbook to healing
Sometimes only time
And a will to grow

There is beauty in that too

Rhonda Johnson-Saunders Date: 3/20/2015 9:22:00 AM Yes, there's great beauty in diversity but so often we try to force people to "fit" into our own boxes. Often parents do it with their children, usually the heart is in the right place, though...your words are wise...everyone heals and grows in their own way...hugs, Rhonda Login to Reply
