HEALING INSIGHTS

In Sickness and Health by Harold M. Schulweis

I have recovered
and my heart is full of gratitude.
I have recovered
I give thanks to the
divine power as experienced in the
skill of the physician;
in the care of nurses
in the warmth of family
who held my hand in theirs.

Let me not forget those long days and nights
so that I will live out my resolve
to uplift the fallen
to help heal the sick
to loosen the chains of the fettered.

Let me not forget the goodness I experienced
so that I can render good to others.

Let me not forget the healing power of
friends, of good wishes,
of prayers for my recovery.

I have recovered
so I am as a new creation
I feel deeper now
understand more now
I am whole more now than ever before
to alleviate pain and restore hope.
