If you hold back on the emotions - if you dont allow yourself to go all the way through them -you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails.
But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience fully and completely. You know what pain is. You know what love is. You know what grief is. And only then can you say, 'All right. I have experienced that emotion. I recognise that emotion. Now I need to detach from that emotion for a moment.
this is taken from 'Tuesdays With Morrie'. its a really good book that reminds me to touch base with my feelings; to look after my inner grace; and loads more. i guess now is the moment for me. the need to detach.
thank you papa God for constantly reminding me that you're listening and watching over me. each sunday, you tell me to draw strength from you. you remind me of your LOVE. and i wanna tell you that I LOVE YOU too. :)
