Healing takes time from "summary" of You'd Be Home Now by Kathleen Glasgow
Healing is a process that cannot be rushed. It unfolds slowly, like the petals of a flower opening in the early morning light. It requires patience, gentleness, and a willingness to sit with discomfort. In the midst of pain and confusion, it can be tempting to try to speed up the healing process, to push through the difficult feelings and move on as quickly as possible. But true healing does not work that way. It demands time and space to unfold in its own way, at its own pace. When we rush the healing process, we risk missing out on the deeper lessons that pain has to offer. We may try to bury our feelings or distract ourselves with busyness, but the wounds we carry will only fester beneath the surface. True healing requires us to face our pain head-on, to sit with it and allow it to teach us what we need to learn. It is a messy, uncomfortable process, but it is also a necessary one. In our fast-paced world, we are often taught to value productivity and efficiency above all else. We are told that we should be able to bounce back quickly from setbacks and that any sign of weakness is a failure. But healing does not conform to these expectations. It is a slow, messy, non-linear journey that requires us to embrace vulnerability and uncertainty. It is a process of shedding old layers and discovering who we truly are beneath the pain. As we move through the healing process, we may encounter unexpected challenges and setbacks. We may feel overwhelmed or discouraged at times. But these moments of struggle are a natural part of the journey. They are an opportunity for growth and self-discovery. They remind us that healing is not a straight line from pain to wholeness, but a winding path that loops back on itself and doubles back on old wounds.- Healing takes time because it is a process of transformation. It requires us to let go of old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve us. It demands that we face our pain with courage and compassion. It asks us to be patient with ourselves and with the world around us. And ultimately, it invites us to step into a new way of being, one that is more authentic, more whole, and more alive.
