Epilogue 326

tend to make a religion out of them, which only strengthens their imprisonment. My intention is for everyone who reads The Wounded Heart to find wisdom in the adventure and tools to help them along their way. I ask that they will integrate the wisdom offered here and always continue to open new doorways. And I ask that the doorways never end as we expand and become more ourselves.

I am already creating my next doorway. I am discovering the value of the dark, and my next novel is being created from my experiences before this one is even out the door. And that is as it should be.

I leave you with this prayer that was given to me last year during a particularly difficult time in my personal life. May we all learn to take ownership of our pain and pull the arrows from our wounded hearts.
