There is an ancient story that says when we are babies in the wombs of our mother, an angel comes and teaches us everything we need to know in order to live our destiny in life.  Right before we are born, the angel taps us on the cleft of our upper lip, and we forget everything. This is perhaps the first universal trauma that all human beings experience - to forget who we are, what we are here to do, and how to go about living our lives.  But, it is our wounds that become the doorways to our greatest gifts.
