The Wounded

Oases and Mirages1

Ten years of living with the wounded children; for now haiku becomes the best way I can explain.  There is no miracle to what Shishur Sevay does, except that we do it with the commitment we will not give up and when they urge us to give up on them, we still do not.  When on rare occasions they peek out from their cocoons, we are there smiling, encouraging, but never tugging.  It is not an easy process for them or for the people trying to help them and protect them, and none of it is personal.  I  love building oases.

    Reblogged this on The legacy and lessons of Author Joyce Godwin Grubbs and commented:
    This deserves the widest possible share and speaks volumes in just these few sentences. Outstanding and a verbal gift to all is the haiku
