Break Through Debris

"Courage doesn't happen when you have all the answers.

It happens when you are ready to face the questions

you have been avoiding your whole life."

Shannon L. Alder

Dark clouds hanging from the sky create a sense of repressed emotions.  The gloom impacts our perception of the world and of the self.  Without announcement, light breaks through the thick clouds and penetrates down upon us.  Somewhere within, we feel a slight stirring of hope.

Challenging issues we choose to ignore have the same impact.  They crimp our imagination and discolor our outlook.  In time, what we avoid turns into heavy baggage.  The denial of our problems costs us more than if we would turn to  face the darkness.

There is truth in leaving the past in the past, unless there are unresolved issues.  It takes courage to pull out a memory and experience the negative emotions.  Identify what age this event occurred and discern how the experience continues to impact current reactions.  It helps to remind our lovely selves we are older and wiser and our light can break through any debris.
