This
is a picture that I have hanging in my room.
It is very old; possibly 60 years or more. It belonged to my maternal grand-parents. So, in some ways I cherish that it ended up
in my care until it is passed on to someone else.
But,
I have to admit that this picture evokes tremendous pain in my soul. It brings forth my wounded child. Sadly, this child still longs to be taken
care of by a loving mother; longs for the attachment that was never made; longs
to be loved by her siblings.
Maybe
today I am sitting in vulnerability and my emotions are surfacing more than I would
like. While it is painful, it is not
necessarily a negative experience. It is
a sign that I need to work on a part of my soul that has been neglected; a part
of me that I keep trying to deny and put aside until I am ready to ‘deal’ with
it. But, this is not how life
works. This is not how the path to
wholeness works. Change refuses to be minimized and neglected, the way
the wounded child was minimized and neglected.
Change must
be embraced with a loving hug that the wounded child never experienced. Change
must be allowed to grow the soul that was stifled in the wounded child.
One
must be open to change whenever it appears on your path. We are constantly changing whether we realize
it or not. The way to wholeness is to
embrace all change and learn the lessons it is trying to teach us. When we embrace all of our Self, we will move
closer to our Creator. This is what our
Self, our Soul longs for…the connectedness to our Creator. We must overcome the obstacles in our life
that have disconnected us from our Creator.
This, my dear readers is what I believe will lead us to wholeness. This is what will lead us to inner peace.
Peace.
Nico
