“True happiness does not come from a perfect childhood. Happiness comes from claiming our unique childhood and working through the lessons it holds for us. “

[Anne Wilson Schaef]

 

All of us can recall childhood events that were painful. Seen and remembered through the eyes and heart of our child, they are understood in that moment.

“The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time,” writes Eudora Welty, “but in their significance to ourselves, they find their own order…. The continuous thread of revelation.”

My we be blessed in our growth to understand with love and compassion.
