sitting in my lawyering for social change class... teacher is discussing how few places there are in our culture that allow people to find healing and peace. a place to just sit and be and de-stress. a place to find center again. she said most people drink, smoke, have illicit sex, or do any other number of extreme things to find a way to cope with working in a social change field.
and immediately as she described this place she searches for a picture of the temple came into my mind. places do exist where we can go to be healed and refilled. where we can find center. where we can be recharged with the power we need to help others in a continual sort of way.
the temple.
i've been healed there. felt peace there. found center there.
but more important...
i am healed and feel peace and center everyday over and over again because i go to the temple regularly. when i leave the temple, i leave with power. literal power to do and be more than i can on my own.
i feel so grateful to have this eternal gift of access to God's power and peace.
it took all my effort not to raise my hand and tell everyone that there are places of healing available to them. come and be healed! since that would have been inappropriate to do in class i wrote here.
here's to the chance that i'll get to share the idea with my teacher at some point.
i saw God today.
