WHAT IF there was a book
that told a story about a “place” that could show
someone struggling with something or someone
who felt conflicted that the path being followed
actually covered up the inner conflict.
So, since it was not recognized for what it was, the
inner conflict could not be faced and resolved and
only resulted in frustration and anger? And we know
that someone wounded tends to wound others.

WHAT IF there was a book
that showed how even the negative events and
people that had seemed to push this someone down
a dark path were actually there to strip away the
“bandaids” protecting wounds that needed to be
cleaned and opened to the light and air [spirit]
for healing.

WHAT IF there was a book
that told about someone who came to this “place”
and lived in an awareness of the true purpose of this
“place” and show it was possible to live in this “place”
and reach wholeness—
maybe even more than one who came to show others
the path of healing, to show that twists and turns in
the path could help to reveal the real wound and
make it possible to stop dealing with other
“symptoms” that distract from the healing
that is needed.

WHAT IF there was a book
that shared stories of someone walking a path in this
“place” meant to encourage others to look deeper into
common moments, words, or events that may have
caused hurt that became wounds that controlled
choices on another’s path drawing them away from
seeing that it all was from a wound that had been
covered up and ignored. Stories that confirm that
wounds cleaned and opened to the light and air bring
healing, can bring a new sense of life flowing through
the old wounded area and they can bring courage to
a fearful heart.
