Puddles of grief.
For most of my life I’ve been running away from these triggers, stories, moments…from this pain.
Ascribing the tears and running straight into these issues. That’s the hard work.
And things that matter to me are issues even if I don’t want them to be issues (more often than not I don’t want to have any “issues”)
Owning my story in its fullness requires that I spend time sitting in the pain.
I am by far a “doer.” I problem solve, analyze, figure things out. Sitting, being, enjoying….so much harder.
Wholeness takes work. The hard work of sitting in the pain rather than running.
But, it’s worth it. I catch glimpses of integrity and wholeness and just being me….and oh how my heart sings. I long for that more often. So, I’m choosing to sit in some of my grief today.
Do you have a hard time sitting in your pain?
