False Means of Protection

"you have outgrown this skin.

stop trying to hold it in.

stop trying to hold it together.

let yourself break."

One of my favorite possessions is my vintage glass pitcher with etching on the side.  I have coveted it for over 25 years and it has been moved with me numerous times.  I first noticed a crack in  the handle, but I couldn't part with it.  Even though I adjusted the level of contents and added additional support, the crack continued to spread.  One day it just let go and broke beyond repair.

Unfotunately, this sharing of the glass pitcher would be equal in content about my self.  There have been times I have felt a break in my heart and ignored it.  My emotional body tried to compensate through denial and avoidance.  Then one day the pain cracked my heart open to unavoidably face my inner strife.

There are times we just need to let go and dislodge the negative boundaries that are being built as a false means of protection.  Some things just cannot be fixed and other items just need to be let go.  It is up to us to be aware of our inner turmoils.  Find a compassionate way to release what we ignore using good judgment, safety measures, and feel better for it.  Starting anew can be a blessing.
