Wow. What a masterpiece this book Knowing Acts is. In my role as president/founder of Finding Our Voices which is breaking the silence of domestic abuse and a 29 year survivor myself, I know that when we are deep in our trauma it is hard to read anything. The gentle, loving nature of this book allows one to dip into healing waters. Thahnk you Heidi for putting this into the world. Who hasn’t undergone some trauma? All could benefit from this book!
Thank you so much Patrisha. I love your metaphor of dipping into healing water. When I was at rough place in my own healing, Linden O’Ryan, the artist who created the book’s illustrations, worked with me. She told me to imagine I’m standing on the edge of a healing river and that I can choose to observe and be present with that image; I can inch closer perhaps dipping in a toe; I can wade; or I can let the river carry me. Today I think of the Rumi quote, “Dive in the ocean, leave and let the sea be you.” But more importantly, I’m grateful that you’ve broken your own silence and are wholeheartedly helping others to do the same in gentle, healing, and insightful ways. As others read this comment, please know that Patrisha’s organization, FindingOurVoices.net, is an amazing resource I highly recommend. Namaste
