Turning away or towards

Abstract

A recent visit to the centre of San Francisco has left its mark on me. To be confronted continually by requests for money from the homeless and hungry on almost every street corner was disturbing. Locals tended to ignore the problem. They turned away from it; I could not.

Moses was unable to turn away from the Burning Bush. He turned towards it, took off his shoes, and realised where he stood was holy ground. The integration of spirituality and psychotherapy is holy ground.
