"Step by step we take an early morning walk. Day by day, we write in our journal, work in a garden, light a candle, return to a piece of poetry, or go about the everyday things that keep life going. It all seems so slow, so ordinary. Still, thread by thread, we are learning the importance of staying with the process and reminded that there is no way to cultivate our souls in a hurry. There is no way to rush healing, forgiving, grieving, even growing; it is all about the slow process of transformation."
