cycles and circles are unfortunately what we are made of and what we do to ourselves. on the micro (self) level, and on the macro (society) level as well. sometimes the golden rule can't work because if we treated others the way we treat ourselves we would be lashing out at anyone and everyone near us. calm the storm, ride the waves. try and work from cycles to spirals... spirals get larger and encompass new territory as then get larger or smaller, opening up new pathways you can explore. maybe it's just a new way to internalize pain, or maybe it can be a new way to express that doesn't involve increasing the hurt.
Good luck with tomorrow

Thank you, Carole.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow is already better. I woke up to this comment this morning.
I will never be able to explain how comments from people I have never met can mean so much. But they do.
