The healing that can grow out of the simple act of telling our stories is often quite remarkable. Even more remarkably, this healing is not just our own healing, it is the healing of all women. That's why, as we tell our stories to ourselves, it is also important to share them with others. This sharing brings a sense of kinship, of sisterhood. We understand that we are not alone in our efforts to become conscious, whole, healthy persons.

Louis ZamperiniHealing happens between the notes. I had to allow the space and not be afraid, and to know that things happen in space. You have to let the space settle.

Each group of Christians is, as it were, a pilot plant, showing that something can be done in the present situation, if only we begin in the right way.

J. R. R. TolkienThe process of healing also needs to include the pursuit of truth, not for the sake of opening old wounds, but rather as a necessary means of promoting justice, healing and unity.

The main thing is that you're showing up, that you're here and that you're finding ever more capacity to love this world because it will not be healed without that. That was what is going to unleash our intelligence and our ingenuity and our solidarity for the healing of our world.

Oprah WinfreyThe willingness to face traumas - be they large, small, primitive or fresh - is the key to healing from them.

Shane ClaiborneObviously, our political system is profoundly corrupted by, among other things, the influence of money. But, at a deeper level, the current structure is flawed because it looks to citizens for only two things - votes and money. I don't think we will see any healing until citizens are viewed in a whole new way.
