“Grow: If you have been given a plate of injustice, Use it to grow empathy. If you gave been heaped upon with pain, Use it to grow compassion. If you have been drowned with reasons to fear, Use it to gain courage. What we are given is often unfair, But not one of us has a single thing, That did not grow from what we have been given. We are not a hero for having suffered. We are a hero for having grown.” - Nightbird * * So incredible to see how gracefully our Ladies of the Arc hosted other mothers from the West side of Chicago, and led, along with Cecilia, an Expression workshop focused on healing and growth. ✨ It was very powerful to witness the depth of sharing. * * #expressionfromtheinside #expressiveart #artashealing
