Greetings Dear Reader,
I started another round of reducing and purging things over
the weekend. It was a walk through some memories
that both heal and haunt me. I have an
ever-growing understanding of the importance of choosing carefully what we keep
and discard.
That moment, when you open a box, unsure of its contents and
the hose of memory floods the mind. The
memories of dreams that slipped through my fingers or hopes that became shattered
on the rocks of consequences are still quite jagged. I have to add to that changes that are the result
of choices made by others that impact me.
Photographs, notes, and gifts of sentiment have a deep
impact on me. Words written to me become
sacred to me. I think I do not realize
how deeply true this is until I come across them. It is one of the things that carries me through
difficult times.
When I encounter words of promise and love that have turned
to lies they reopens wounds that never truly heal. I read this week that you never truly get
over losing someone. The context was
death. I think it extends to other
losses as well.
The pain that surprises me is always searing and
intense. The sudden flood of memory
burns through the mind demanding my full heart and rending it anew. That, however, is not where it stops. It leads me to questions that I must answer
in order to regain my peace. I must find
the peace in my pain or the pain will overwhelm me.
The journey this next few days will be over some thorny
ground but it will also be one of possibilities. One of the first lessons I have learned is
that doing this alone increases the pain.
Since I must, however, do so I would value your company as I walk
through it. As always, your thoughts
and questions are welcome Dear Reader.
We can traverse the rough terrain together and perhaps find the joy even
in the difficult part of the journey.
Wishing you joy in the journey,
Aramis Thorn
