Nice Words - For healing we need more than merely nice words

Nice Words

 

Nice words

are nowhere enough

to touch the depth

of my wounded heart.


Nice words

are a bandage

or at best a pain killer.

After a short time

of distraction

my soul continues to cry.


Nice words

are just not enough.


Where do I find more

than nice words

when I badly need

restoration and healing?


Is everything empty

and in the end meaningless?

Is there nothing that carries me through

and holds me?


There is only one place

I find healing words.


Words of truth

even though they are not comfortable

and not trendy at times.


Words that give my blind heart

new light.


Words that can hold me

even when I find myself in a free fall.


Words that allow me

to see my true self

like in a mirror.


Words that forgive

and bring reconciliation.


Words that give

the right answer.


Words that allow me

to feel totally good

about myself again.


Words that were not

spoken by humans

because they have healing power.


There is only one book

for the world

in which I can find

those words.


When I read that book

and search in it

then I have found

a priceless spring.


Thank you God

that in your endless love for me

you made the Bible available.

Talmud, Avot 1:17

Speaking wisely is important, but speech without action does not cultivate character or restore the soul.

The second problem - PTSD (Post-traumatic stress disorder)

The second problem I have a problem, or so I thought for a long time. Something bothered me immensely. Whether it was: suffering, illness,  injustice, bullying, abuse, loss, or anything else that threw me off track, what's certain is that the pain of it was etched into my mind. I got incredibly upset about it, simmered with anger and resentment, shrouded myself in self-pity and depression, occupied myself with all sorts of distractions, and did all sorts of things to try and get rid of the pain. Soon I realized that the thought about my problem had become lodged inside me, like a bird that has built a nest  in my tree. I'm starting to brood over the negative feelings. Day and night, they give me no peace. I'm getting so worked up about this terrible situation that I'm constantly preoccupied with all sorts of possible and even impossible scenarios. Soon, I'm experiencing increasing difficulty concentrating. Coping with everyday tasks becomes more and m...

Information about the posts in March 2026

All posts posted in March 2026 have a specific order to them. I have placed them in 3 different categories: 1. The Problems 2. The Considerations 3. The Solutions Posts, that will be posted after March 2026 do not have this order, but will be posted randomly only sorted by the time they were posted. It is my hope, that the reader realizes, that he/she is not the only one struggling with a certain problem. I have spent much effort going into the depth of each problem with the hope that the reader can identify with it. Over time I have come to realize that the way we react to problems in principle is timeless. We all get stuck with the same or similar reactions. At the beginning those reactions are rather unproductive or even destructive.  It is my goal to not only honestly write about different problems, but also give the reader, who is seeking solutions good thoughts to consider. I do wish for each reader to read the lyrics with an open mind and contemplate what is wr...

When the soul cries out - Emotional pain

When the soul cries out   When the soul cries out then the head is full with pain. When the soul cries out then it is obvious that you cannot concentrate. When the soul cries out then the everyday routines become difficult. When the soul cries out then any contacts with the outside world become more and more difficult. When the soul cries out then you become more impatient with yourself and others. When the soul cries out then you need a lot of love and comfort  in order to heal again.     (1606121555-1912,1706120737-0747)     Psalm 147:3 (The Israel Bible) He heals their broken hearts, and binds up their wounds.
