An African proverb says,
"The blessing lies next to the wound."
Sometimes it is difficult to distinguish between them.
Sometimes one overpowers the other.
But we must name each wound and each blessing.
We need to welcome them, talk with them.
And we must thank them for being a part of our life.
And we must let them hurt; let them
Walk, today, with the daughters of life: wound and blessing.
