The Bear Who Healed the Wounded Heart
In times of deep sorrow, when the people’s hearts felt broken, the Bear appeared, walking through the village with great purpose.
The elders say:
“The Bear’s spirit carries healing in its presence. When it appears, the wounded heart finds peace.”
The Bear did not speak or offer a remedy. It simply sat, and in its stillness, it became a vessel of peace. The people felt their pain ease, their hearts lighten.
Now, when I see a Bear, I remember:
Healing does not always come from words, but from the quiet strength of being present, and the wisdom of knowing when to be still.
