-Why do you cut yourself, Lee?

-I don't know

-Is it that sometimes the pain inside has to come to the surface, and when you see evidence of the pain inside, you finally know you are really here? Then, when you watch the wound heal, it's comforting. Isn't it?

-That's a way to put it

-I'm going to tell you something. You will never, ever cut yourself again. Do you understand? Have I made that perfectly clear? You're over that now. It's in the past.

- "You're the child of God's holy gift of life. You come from me, but you are not me. Your soul and your body are your own, and yours to do as you wish"

-Thank you, Daddy

For the first time in my life, I felt beautiful. Finally part of the earth.
