Conversations I've had recently with my brother, my sweet brother, have led to thoughts and ponderings of patterns and cycles and rhythms we play out with all we come into contact with. Growth is such a wonderfull thing. It was fun to connect dots when we were kids to, in the end, discover a picture or a character that we didn't know was there until we went step by step...connecting dot number one to number two to number three, etc. Only if healing, life and growth were that simple, that systematic. If we could only reflect on, study and examine our lives in such a simple and systematic way. When sifting through our patterns and cycles, our life rhythms we find mounds and mounds of emotional baggage. And, not just our own. We sift through our parents' baggage and their parents' parents baggage as well.

The need to keep moving, to keep living often influences us to push emotions and pain over to the side so that we can keep going. So, the information/the life lessons that they/each life experience contains is pushed to the side along with the emotional suitcase, energy packet it was contained in.


What patterns and cycles are playing out in your life?
