We can re-injure ourselves time and again; without realizing we are caught up in a re-play of the past. It was what it was, for whatever reason it was. But the past is a memory that can only live on as long as we agree to keep remembering and feeling it, through the same self-punishing eyes. Whether we hate and blame others, or we condemn our self, the result is the same. Surrounded by the resulting emotional field we continue to create, we suffer... and our bodies continue to be addicted to the surges of negative emotions.<br />I agree that we would not even have walked into such situations, if we truly loved ourselves. AND we would also have re-acted to the same scenario differently. But what we have is now - another chance/ another moment - to forgive and love & surround ourselves in a new field. Things happen to hurting people, by hurting people. Each living their pain and suffering of the past, through eyes and actions of the present. <br />When is it okay to get off the merry-go-round and say, 'I've had enough, thank you'. 'I am going to go on a different ride today'? I don't need to figure out this merry-go-round any more. I just need to find a ride that feels a little more fun. I wonder what a tea cup ride feels like? I wonder if I would like the ferris wheel? I wonder how I would feel if I stayed home today and did something nice for myself? or... I'm not feeling very brave, so I will just put my toe in the water and then walk on the sand and be/ feel this moment, here, for a little while. <br />I personally think, for myself, that from where I stand now - I still don't have a big enough perspective to understand 'why' anything happened. And do I want to continue walking along, turned backward towards the past; and missing everything I might see if I turned around?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
