Guided by the Light

Hello, I am Dr. Mary Horn

I was born and raised in a small Arizona town on the border to Mexico. I believe our roots are an important part of who we are. Presently, I am a Clinical Psychologist with a private practice in Kaneohe, Hawaii. I have been working in the field of Mental Health for 30 years.

I'd like to share one of my favorite poems with you

Comes The Dawn

After a while you learn the subtle difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul, And you learn that love doesn’t mean leaning and company doesn’t mean security, And you begin to learn that kisses aren’t contracts And presents aren’t promises, And you begin to accept your defeats with your head held high and your eyes open With the grace of a woman, not the grief of a child, And you learn to build all your roads on today, Because tomorrow’s ground is too uncertain for plans, And futures have a way of falling down in mid-flight. After a while you learn That even sunshine burns if you get too much. So plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, Instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers. And you learn that you really can endure…That you really are strong, And you really do have worth. And you learn and learn…With every goodbye you learn.
