Time Wounds All Heels…
As time goes by, everything changes. Around this time of year, I find it especially important to ‘check with’ myself. I constantly observe, take inventory and evaluate where I am on my path. I’ve discovered something that only time passing by can teach us.
I’ve seen memories change form. I’ve felt my viewpoint of the same issue shift from one end of the spectrum to the other. I’ve learned that actions that once had a very specific meaning, have no meaning at all. Over time, our wounds become teachers.
In short, sometimes, Love is all about perspetive. Observe:
What looks like an ordinary thing- such as this bunch of hydrangea that I hung upside down to dry…
Can easily become a sign when the perspective is changed.
Love is a perspective. Especially around the holidays, this is very important to keep at the forefront of your thoughts. It’s a joyous time of year, but it’s also stressful for a lot of people for varying reasons. For some, this is the first Christmas without a loved one. Behind what appears to be a smiling face, may be an aching heart. Be gentle with your words and actions. If someone lashes out at you, consider they are feeling unloved and in order to conceal this, they act out in a way that takes attention from them and turns it toward you. When you find this perspective, sit with it, and really let it sink in. This gives you the incredible opportunity to be a part of someone’s journey to healing their wounds- visible or not. This is one way that time heals our wounds.
Try to remember that the way others treat you, or speak to you says much more about them than it does about you. It may take years before you master this skill, but it is one that will be priceless once you do.
