This month our Soul Matters theme is Healing. As we approach the midterm election, we can feel how very broken our country is and understand how much healing we need. When we think of healing, we often picture a return to how things used to be—a body restored, a relationship mended, or a past peace recaptured.

THE BURIAL OF THE OLD by Wendell Berry The old, whose bodies encrust their lives, die, and that is well. They unhinder what has struggled in them. The light, painfully loved, that narrowed and darkened in their minds becomes again the sky. The young, who have looked on dying, turn back to the world, grown strangely alert to each other's bodies.
