As it was...

The path of healing won't appear until you start walking and you may go through the stages once, or many times; perhaps in one order, perhaps in another. So start walking, and as you become accustomed to walking, watch your fear of dark places disappear. Start walking because objects in motion tend to stay in motion - once you get going, you will keep going. Start walking because your small steps will eventually become giant leaps. Start walking, and if it helps, bring a bag of pebbles with you for good luck. Start walking, not because it's easy, but because it's hard. Start walking because it's the only way forward.
