A new way to be human

Meeting with clients brings "being human" to a whole different meaning. The Imago Dei sits before me, and all I want to do is weep. The human being sitting in front of me in all their brokenness is also the Image of God - a glorious ruin! Glorious Ruin! Dignity! Real!

It is occuring to me that counseling is more about helping people to gently unwrap the layers of UN-reality they have applied to life.

I want to be real. Authentic. True (as in North), heartfelt or, how about this: LIFE-LIKE!

With God, this is not impossible.
