“Your entire heart has been scarred through the years; seek the healer who heightens the senses and helps you feel alive. There, you will find the medicine to mend the wounds and restore life.”

“Meditation will help you to find your bonds, loosen them, untie them, and cast your moorings. When you are no longer attached to anything, you have done your share. The rest will be done for you. (…) By the same power that brought you so far, that prompted your heart to desire truth and your mind to seek it. It is the same power that keeps you alive. You may call it Life or the Supreme.”

“They take your heart and steal your life
And it's as though you feel you've died
‘Cause you've been killed inside
But yet you're still alive
Which means you will survive”

“Never reveal your wounds.
They will all believe your weaker.
They will take advantage of you.
When they see how scarred you are.
Then you will have no choice.
But to fight.
And then they will feel the wrath of a warrior.”

“No one has gone through life without acquiring scars and bruises. Some wounds are hidden inside us and only we can feel. They are badges of our day-to-day struggle to learn and survive.”

“Someone has inflicted the wounds and scars you now possess, but healing is left to you alone.”

“The scars of your love remind me of us
They keep me thinking that we almost had it all.
The scars of your love they leave me breathless.
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all.
Rolling in the deep.
You had my heart inside of your hand
And you played it
To the beat.”

“Batter my heart, three-personed God; for you
As yet but knock, breathe, shine, and seek to mend.”

“Laura was born an authentic artist, and, coming together, my job was to help her bring all of it forward and out. […] The artist is a shaman; a wounded healer. We have wounds that we want to bring forth through the material. It's joyful, it's painful, but not painful in a bad way. And when you do that, you also heal people in the audience.”

“My heart is broke, but I have some glue, help me inhale and mend it with you.”
