"Growth into personal fullness means passing through periods of encountering the grotesque, with its strange juxtapositions and surreal transitions. When we integrate what's learned in that passage with all of our being, we become a complete self." -- ShadowsPub
When we encounter confusing disruptions of who we believe we are, the instinct is to hurry through the anomaly and get back to 'normal'. Maybe we'd learn more by pausing to explore the experience.
Brava, @shadowspub! Again, you delivered the echo I needed at the optimum delivery point.
My Texas arrival took me back to a past that I would’ve rather not have faced, especially only stepping off my flight from London.
Yes, I’d have preferred to return to a normal state ASAP, but your post reminds me to pause to explore the experience.
Much love, dear friend.
