"Seeing the obvious is often harder
than seeing the hidden."
Mehmet Murat ildan
When we walk through our memories, we notice snippets of information, previously overlooked. As we sink into past scenarios, bodily sensations can alert us with striking emotion which was originally felt as numbness.
Think of riding on a carousel. As we gently move with fantasy music, do we notice the excitement in our body or admire the artistic hand painted work or feel inspired by being present in the moment ... no, we are usually focused on the blur of people just so we can wave ... missing the simple joy of the moment.
We overhear ourselves telling stories about loving to swim when the thought of wearing a bathing suit is revolting. The word no is reverberating in our mind as we shake our head yes. To avoid what is right before us, we lavish avoidance to assist denial in diluting the truth before us.
