Compassion and patience are virtues that are essential to the healing process. Compassion expresses the wise understanding that ultimately our bodies exist in space and time, and like all space-time events they have a beginning, middle and end. Patience reflects a similarly wise understanding that "this too will pass." We were all born with a remarkable power for metabolizing the ups and downs of life. Whenever we fully digest an experience, we are able to gain knowledge, understanding and wisdom. In the middle of a challenging life episode, we may be unable to imagine any possible value to it - but if we can remain open to the possibility that we may learn something that will help us grow, we will rarely be disappointed. Sometimes what appears to be a tragedy turns out to be a blessing and vice versa.
