Healing the self means committing ourselves
to a wholehearted willingness to be what and how we are–
beings frail and fragile,
strong and passionate,
neurotic and balanced,
diseased and whole,
partial and complete,
stingy and generous,
twisted and straight,
storm-tossed and quiescent,
bound and free.

~ Paula Gunn Allen
