Sunday morning, Rev. Nancy continued exploring our monthly theme of "Healing." Our world is full of woundedness --- dislocation, rootlessness, and hopelessness. To become healers, we must first acknowledge our own woundedness. By considering the traumas that have shaped us and what we've learned from them for good or ill, we can learn about ourselves and our own path to healing. Our wounds cannot teach us how others feel, but they can teach us compassion --- each person's wounds are unique, but every person's woundedness is part of a shared human condition. The idea is not to cure our wounds, but to let them become places where we are open to sacredness and new vision.
