As disease can spread
So can health
And changing the world begins
With changing me
My spiritual condition
This is now my mission
I help you most
When I am helping me
Talking to a counsellor
Brought me back to health
How? I open up to one who cares
There is no condemnation
No jarring words no spite
Attentive listening
A soothing balm
Brings me to the light
And I can be for others
As the counsellor was for me
A calming presence
Loving faithfully
Open self to God each day
Let the spirit in
And by your loving over sight
Rid this world of sin

+ A news item today highlights the issue of mental health and the great numbers of people suffering in this way. We often react by saying to ourselves that there is nothing we can do. That is a great mistake. Our ability to influence the world around us is great. We need to understand this.
