"Since we are all full of wounds, why do we treat each other as if we are invulnerable? Since we fell together and rose together, since we won our battles with the wounds they left us, why don't we show our scars?

"Be careful!" My mother always looked me in the eyes and told me: "Be careful!" She didn't say it critically, she didn't imply that she knew something better, she didn't shout her concern from her own wounded map. "Be careful!" she told me, and thus, my dreams opened up along with my fears. "Be careful!" she told me out of eagerness for me to catch up, not out of a desire to criticize me to change.

She never gave me advice. She listened to what I decided to share but didn't put me on the paths she had carved. She didn't make me an extension of her pains, she didn't close paths for me because of her fears. I just remember her looking at me tenderly and letting me spread out on my own paths, without her guidance. And while I perceived her doubts – as much as her soul wanted, she couldn't hide – she never projected them onto me. She stood calmly in her wounds and listened."

…looking for a guide to better understand yourself and your relationships with others, if you feel the need for more inner peace and authenticity in your life.
