WOUNDED HEALERS
Hail to
all the wounded healers of the world!
You gave
us the greatest gift.
You not
only healed yourself,
You also
gave us the gift to heal ourselves.
What did
they suffer from?
From which
suffering did they liberate themselves?
Their
liberation is our liberation as well.
Hail to
all the wounded healers of the world!
Know your
own suffering.
Choose the
wounded healer who will guide you to liberation.
Do the
work as they did.
Hail to
all the wounded healers of the world!

[This poem
is dedicated to Carl Gustav Jung who believed that “‘only the wounded
physician heals,’ and then only to the extent that he has healed himself.”]
