have you ever had a moment, stemming from your therapy work, a moment that felt like a miracle?
i've had mini miracles, little things that amaze me but never seemed worth mentioning...
but today ... i was reading the thread 'Passive Death Wish' ... and it started me thinking, remembering how i've felt in the past .... and i had a thought that made me tear up. ... "I want to live."
never once, in my whole existence have I ever had that thought. I cry everything time those words float across my mind.
this is what therapy can do. this is what's possible.
Life... is possible.

Happiness cannot be found
through great effort and willpower,
but is already present,
in open relaxation and letting go.
Don't strain yourself,
there is nothing to do or undo.
Whatever momentarily arises
in the body-mind
Has no real importance at all,
has little reality whatsoever.
Don't believe in the reality
of good and bad experiences;
they are today's ephemeral weather,
like rainbows in the sky.
~Venerable Lama Gendun Rinpoche~
