I thought I would share a message with you that Anthony sent to Lyn many years ago. Lyn posted this last night saying how much it has helped her and many of her friends over the years ... and I thought it may also resonate with some of you. Maree x You Cant Hug a Porcupine !!! Have you ever had a situation in your life where you try so hard to get on with family or perhaps a friend and no matter what you do the relationship just doesnt work. I have !! It is very difficult to come to terms with and for me it took 12 years of banging my head against a wall to realize that you just cant hug a porcupine. Spiritually it is a hard lesson to learn. You see we all think that if we have a relationship problem its important to keep working away at it ....striving to work through the issues time and time again. We feel that its the right thing to do. I would say that any issue relationship or otherwise should be worked through.....but when does it all become too much and enough is enough. Usually when one or the other party becomes bitter and twisted or so desperately unhappy that life isnt worth the effort. We seem to feel spiritually that its the right thing to do.... work this problem to the end, we feel its a lesson to learn. Consider this.... what if the lesson is not about the problem at all. I believe some times the lesson isnt about trying ......its about walking away. Its about understanding that we have a a right to say.....THERE IS NO MORE I CAN DO. Saying this is not wrong !! Sometimes there is a duty of care to ourselves to walk away. If we have tried to repair to reconcile to heal and we constantly meet resistance then the lesson may well be to learn to walk away. You will know if you have done all you can do. It can be one of the most painful experiences you have to walk away. Its not unlike the grief process we experience when we lose a loved one in many ways. If you have truly made the effort done all you feel you can do then although the walking away will be a painful experience, it is one that will liberate your soul and perhaps just perhaps the very act of walking away will be a lesson the other party needs to learn as well. Remember you just cant hug a porcupine !!! ANTHONY
