What being spiritually
fit means to me is the ability to surf the breakers of serendipity, moving with the spirit of compassion. Professionals have
carved out lucrative careers, as they ought, helping people with the medical,
psychological and legal problems some of us have endured and their expertise is sometimes daunting. However, where professionals often
lack the skills in the arena of personal experience, we who have experienced
such things as cancer, mental disorders and the labyrinthine tangles of our
justice system can become useful assets as valuable adjuncts to doctors,
therapists, police and attorneys. Volunteering our compassion, experience and understanding
in therapy groups, visiting mental institutions and jails, or participation in
alcohol and drug addiction recovery, helps us as well as those we serve. Those of
us who have recovered from a hopeless state of mind and body can easily open
hearts, transmitting the precious gift of hope to those who suffer. This
phenomenon is no mystery to us because we have been there and know how we would
have needed to be reached in their place.
