About This Quote
What door is opened into soul through our wounds. We can open a door to our soul through our wounds. In other words, as we heal from our wounds, we open a door to the deeper part of who we are as people. We understand the pain that has caused us to become wary of others and distant from those whom we love. It gives us a new perspective on life and helps us be more compassionate toward those who have hurt us because they too have been wounded in life.
