Sometimes the Healer…

     Is a band-aid and covers small scratches with clown faces

• Is a suture and closes gaps too large for band-aids and makes the bleeding stop
• Is a brute force and fights backs demons too large for the person under their care to stare down on their own
• Is a suction cup and Hoovers lots of pain out of the very wounded soul
• Is a collection of fairy tales and reminds the person under their care that better days are on the near horizon and quite visible
• Is a lump of clay and just sits on the couch and listens
• Is a drummer and celebrates the simplest of victories for those placed under their care
• Is a tourist and visits many lonely train stations on the journey to, ‘where is this heading’?
• Is a spiritual counselor and reminds the person under their care that God indeed is real, and no, has not forgotten their name or zip code
• Is a magician and pulls flowers and rabbits out of very old hats
• Is a marvel in that they know that sans their comfort and wisdom and thoughtful presence the world would indeed implode upon far too many distanced souls
