The facilitator of our veterans art group gave all of us a copy of this. She mentioned the author’s name. I can’t remember it, although I remember that the author is a woman. If I could give her credit, I would. Although considering what she wrote, I doubt that she would mind me posting her words. They speak for themselves.
Healing
Takes place in our natural rhythm.
We are creatures of nature. Nature moves: MEDIUM TO SLOW.
Stay in the natural rhythm. Danger: the fast lane!!! Stay out of it. It can be dangerous.
Only go in the fast lane for brief moments.
Longings: what is calling me? There are many longings at various junctures in our life.
Longing=belonging. What new experience do I long for?
Ask these questions of yourself every day.
1.What made me happy today?
2.Where did I experience comfort, peace, deep satisfaction, and contentment?
3.Who or what inspired me today?
If I track my happiness I will find “fire.” I will identify what I need—what I long for.

About Me
- boxpacker
- As the title of my blog suggests, I am a vet, a veteran of the war in Vietnam. I have, for a number of year since my wartime experience, wondered, at time very intensely and in the midst of pain, about that experience. Some of what I post will have to do with war and its psychological, emotional, and spiritual effects. My somewhat recent graduate school thesis,"God where were you in Vietnam and Where Are You Now," deals with ministry to combat veterans. Although, I am a veteran, I will not get stuck in my experience of war. I am more than a veteran. I write poetry and stories, war and non-war related, I enjoy reading and physical conditioning and art. I search for peace and meaning through my religion and spiritual endeavors and through medition. My avocation is coaching. I am a boxing coach working with amateurs and professionals. I enjoy working with young people. And I am an avid backpacker. I am a father who loves his son.
