Sometimes it takes awhile for an insight to come to the surface of ones consciousness. A few months back while having a family dinner at my parents, a couple came to the door frantic bc their child had dislocated her arm. My dad being the skilled surgeon that he is, calmly soothed the frightened screaming child and quickly pulled the arm socket back into place. Almost immediately the child was moving that arm as if no pain was there. Gathered around my fathers 20 grandchildren watched in amazement. And so did I. Its taken me a few months to realize that that child and the doctor is all of us. Sometimes we experience a wound or pain and rather than experience the short jolting painful medicine needed, we nurse the wound and bathe in the pain for years. One must brace for a short shock, face painful changes head on. By doing so we actually shorten the pain we experience and it dissipates into nothing. Our fear of pain and suffering is the actual pain that plagues us. We need to talk to ourselves like we are the calm administering doctor and brace for short but necessary fix. It is the only way to move forward and grow. Realizing that Pain and Resistance is short term on the Path Forward. Standing still leads you to be immersed in Suffering. Keep moving. And Embrace Change.
