We possess the courage to climb
the summit, sail the sea
look into the sands of the vast desert
wish on a star twinkling
in the summer night sky
and run through the field of flowers
with abandon.

Thank You Caroline. Yes, facing the ttauma is difficult. My hope that however people get to the place of being able to look the beast in the face, that we all eventually get there. Have a wonderful weekend! 😃 Alexis

You are so right in this poem – it does take a lot of courage to overcome PTSD and the trauma of our pasts. The hard way is to face the trauma and work through it until you come to other side and are more free of it. The easier way is to hide the trauma through alcohol and drugs and coping strategies that do not really tackle it.
