The birds, they sang
At the break of day
Start again
I heard them say
Don't dwell on what
Has passed away
Or what is yet to be
Ah, the wars
They will be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
Bought and sold
And bought again
The dove is never free
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
We asked for signs
The signs were sent:
The birth betrayed
The marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
Of every government
Signs for all to see
I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
And they're going to hear from me
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
You can add up the parts
But you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march
There is no drum
Every heart, every heart
To love will come
But like a refugee
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
That's how the light gets in
Here is an example of a change of frame that leads to improvement.
A female patient this week complained of loneliness. In her story, she mainly focused on the fact that her colleague is not honest, does not listen, is not the company she would like. On the other hand, there is another colleague, located further away from her, with whom she does have a common language.
I drew her attention to her developing and improving ability, she sees more clearly what suits her and what doesn't. Understanding what kind of persons she wants to have as friends, and accepting only beneficial relationships. She saw the points of lights in her story, and now she has to concentrate only on these points and her ability to see and find what is good for her.
I actually framed her reality in a different light, I did what is called in the language of NLP 'Reframing'.
When she discovered her surroundings in a new light, she was surprised to see that there was a positive side to her story, it improved her mood, and gave her new hope.
If we concentrate every time on what happens to us, not on our natural urge to see the negative, we will recognize the crack in our story and we will be able to see through it the light and the opportunity, usually this illuminates a new path for us, a path of new light.
If you need help to find the light
I am here for you
The Breathing
