From Trauma To Treasure - New Blog Post
From Trauma to Treasure: For Someone Awakening to the Trauma of His/Her PastHello Reader, I thought you'd like to know about today's blog post, From Trauma to Treasure: A Poem by John O'DonahueEveryone experiences trauma in their lives. There is no escaping it. Trauma can show up through micro-aggressions or through events that challenge our very survival. How we deal with trauma will determine the course of our lives. It takes courage, and support, to move from “trauma to treasure” as I call it. In my own story in The Shaman’s Wife, I experienced traumatic events that I managed to survive and spin them into wisdom to serve others. This poem by John O’Donahue, one of my favorite poets, from To Bless the Space Between Us: A Book of Blessings, speaks to the journey we must take to weave a new tapestry of our lives that includes our wounds turning them into forgiveness for past aggressions. It is truly sacred work to “be blessed with a compassionate guide who can accompany you through the fear and grief until your heart has wept its way to your true self.”
