"I've come to see that much of my confusion in life
comes from giving my attention to the next thing too soon."
Mark Nepo
There is more time these days to reflect upon my reading, writing, and dreaming. Depending upon what I read, certain emotions pop up unexpectedly. I am then distracted by the emotion wondering where it came from. Why now?
In various ways, I write daily, and often get carried away on a tangent which had been intended. It can be filled with anger and loss which obviously has been building for quite awhile. It seems as though it bursts through like a pent up fire.
Once I tracked my dreams for seven years in a row. This experience taught me so much about how we continuously repress experiences we do not feel like facing. The facts may present in entirely different symbols but the significance remains the same. Whether prompted by books, writing or dreaming, we cannot hide our feelings indefinitely. Let feelings flow rather than be surprised by inappropriate actions.
