I was sitting in the Fairfix cafe in Fairfax with my Godma. And I had a blessed moment. I was telling her about the X, I poured to her the shame of the last relationship, and the destruction, (it lingers and comes and goes) but this time i didn't feel the scarry stuff in my back,
only this time a Little Girl came right up to me at the couch at Fairfix. She came boldly around the coffee table that tucked us off to the side. She came right up to me. I turned and she was just standing there blinking at me. She was so present. She was a little one, could hardly walk, she was standing there jsut staring at me, her eyes prominent, almost blazing, somewhat curious, but knowing, that was her stance, like she was fully allowed, like she was telling me, "yes yes you are healed. you are absolutely healed, you are like me, you are like me now. I know." IT was almost like God Himself was trotting up to us, running up to us. She went back to her Dad, then came back just a minute later, as if to say r"eally, really you are OK". her stance was like here I am and sweetly there. As if to say, "It is all over," "YOu are healed" Thankyou Lord for taking away the process, to the steps and steps of observing and dealing, to the mostly there, somewhat there, to all that processing. I don't have to process that anymore, or relate to it. I'm dead to it.
I'm dead to that kind of evil in my life. God told me I'm done. [with that], and I can just be glad, and i don't have to figure it out anymore or make myself somehow "stronger than that" or "clear" It took my Godma to tell me to really look in my face and tell me so knowingly and clearly and surely that I'm healed and then it hit me.

oh molly-love, i read this and the tears did stream. tears because i love you so and i'm happy for you, for your healing, and at the same time, I'm still hurting, not yet healed myself, with the wounds still so open and raw. how i long for the pure innocence of that little girl. how i long for her to toddle up to me, and look me in the eye with that same expression of "you're healed."
oh my sister. i hold you up in your wounds. i used to feel that wounds were beautiful, i used to feel that they were noble and i'd get nostalgic for them as if they were markers of the bold places we went and tried and fell. now as my wounds get more severe and the stakes are higher i don't feel that way anymore. and even as i write this, i know that it is not that my wound has up and vanished and is gone. something remains changed in me, there are places where i am not allowed to go anymore, places where i used to lunge that are just unsafenow. maybe what i am saying is that healing does not have to be in an entire removal of issue, as much as a clearing of having that issue crush you. in other words having the weight of that issue be removed, so we may take back what is ours and be clear from the pain, for a removal of the continual dehabilitation from that issue.
I pray for you my sister.
thank you, once again, my dear molly, for your beautiful words--they lift me up. you "get me," my friend, and that alone is worth so much.
yes, it's the lifting of the weight, the taking back what is mine, the getting back my _self_. it's moving forward, away from the pain, rather than remaining stuck in it. that is healing.
thank you for your prayers--i pray for you too my sweet sister.
