The Voice of the Heart

If I am independent and not in need, it's hard for you to love me. The power we have is only the power to try to refuse it. Feeling of hurt leads us to a gift called healing. When you kiss a boo boo, you just told that little girl that her hurt matters. You're raising an insecure one. A detached child or an insecure child. If you want to raise an engaged and resilient human being, you teach them they can have these feelings and they know where to go with them. Because another gift of hurt would be courage.
