Sitting in feelings stuff does really suck. but so does reacting to life rather than responding.
My godmother always says that when you don't deal with the internal you become obsessed with the external (in all its manifest forms).
She also says that not dealing with the internal means that every external in the present triggers a belief/moment in the past and that THAT is what we react to.
We really do exist in a world with some warped ideas, and one of the biggest is this notion of finite love. If he/she loves x/y/z then they won't love me; if mom loves bro more, than she can't love me.
Problem is this finite love model is false. Plain and simple. Love is expansive and infinite (my belief). Unfortunately in our warped society we have come to confuse love with commitment. Hence, if a person is involved with more than one person (a committment issue) than they must love more than one person and their love (like their time) is theoretically split.
But that's not true. Love is NOT finite...it's infinite. It truly is a give it away and grow kinda thing. Hence the more you love, the more love you have (as opposed to less). Committment, on the other hand, is finite. And, can be changed, altered, used and abused.
Does any of this sound profound. If it does, I can't take credit for it. I'm only passing it along.
If it doesn't, well, that's ok. We all hear things we need at the times we need them.
