"Dig within. Within is the wellspring of Good;
and it is always ready to bubble up,
if you just dig."
Marcus Aurelius
Winter has given me snow and ice, so I will snuggle in to explore things I normally ignore. Instead of just accepting the surface understanding, I dig a little deeper to see what might be a trigger laying in wait for me to discover.
If we go beneath our emotional surface, we can take an adventure following our memories back to an original experience. It is not easy nor pleasant to travel into old disappointments, but the exposure can become a healing result which enhances our health and disposition.
We are rarely upset by the reason we believe. Trails of experiences are hinged together creating a crevice growing larger until we shine light upon it, excavate it, and happily move along. The good thing is we do not necessarily have to itemize scenarios. We can partition off periods of our lives and through meditation, prayer, journaling or therapy, we can view episodes from a distance, gain insight, and then let them go. Otherwise, unpleasantness may bubble up at inopportune times and spaces.
