Healing is not just removing the hurt.
Healing is seeing the causes of hurt. The consequences of hurt.
Healing is not getting what you want.
Healing is being able to understand the phenomena and feeling tones of not getting what you want & getting what you want.
Healing is not just making sure the hurt doesn't come back.
Healing includes understanding the hurt.

Poem
Nothing is Enough //
Or everything is not enough. //
I have a hunger... ////
The hunger is me. //
If I feed it, it wants more. //
Mostly, it wants something else. ////
A wise person, said STOP. //
