It’s time! Cackle! Cackle!
I woke up today and was immediately bombarded with crap that I’ve been dealing with for months. We have been moving into a new house, and it’s been the most difficult move I’ve ever experienced. I am exhausted and frustrated and have pretty regular bouts of anger.
I felt this way this morning as I was trying to do my morning spiritual practice, which was pretty comical. I read a little, meditated a little, and then sent another strongly worded text or email.
I threw up my hands and inwardly asked how to find peace here. I was reminded that I could set all these things aside for a moment but could pick them back up if I wanted to. I felt a little loosening, but I still felt very resistant.
I then felt a sweet sense that it was okay to simply observe the resistance. That I didn’t need to fight it. In fact, fighting it is like shadowboxing; the more we fight it, the more it boxes back. I began to feel a loosening in my chest as I did this.
It’s okay if you want to unleash your flying monkeys sometimes. I’ve had unbelievably profound spiritual experiences for decades and still want those little suckers to fly some days.
What I have learned is these are opportunities for healing. The crap is being flushed to the surface for this purpose, and whether it be quick or slow, healing is available no matter what the circumstance.
Just keep on keeping on in the direction of inner peace. (Even if you let out a few cackles here and there.)

We built a house three years ago and I understand your frustration and it seemed like it was one thing after another our move-in was delayed by 2 months because the windows weren’t made yet all in all what I go through it again I don’t think so but boy am I glad I did I love my new house. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers

Awesime, I share this with you
… I’ve had unbelievably profound spiritual experiences for decades and still want those little suckers to fly some days…
I think the “tests” only get more intense as we pass one to another. Growth, beauty – grateful.
I find your writings inspiring, thank you.

I have been told to just stop thinking about the emotional pain others have inflicted on me over the years. But this sweeping it all under a rug thing is hard. There are times when the pain creeps in and I need to cry. or I need to vent. or I just need to ruminate on it. It doesn’t take up a huge chunk of my day, sometimes it isn’t even more than a few minutes, but knowing that people I had trusted hurt me as they did….it makes it hard to trust again–not the ones who hurt me, but others who come into my life.
