whether witnessing it in another
or feeling it within yourself
when it happens,
it is so dazzling!
even if it hurts,
when
hearts crack open
and healing happens...
Ask yourself what makes you come alive and go do that, because what the world needs is people who come alive.
Howard Thurman
Find a place inside where there's joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
