Hiding Pain
You
think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of
the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the
things that tormented me most were the very things that connected me
with all the people who were alive, or who had ever been alive. -James
Baldwin
I open my heart to my Higher Power
Pain
grows in hiding. Recovery teaches me not to hide my pain and suffering
from myself or from my Higher Power. When I bring my most honest and
pure self to the fore, when I am truly willing to turn over my angst to a
power greater than myself, something changes. I let go and create space
for a shift in perception. I experience a quiet awakening in my life,
and forces that I did not allow to enter my life before, come in to heal
me. I will open the door today and let the parts of me come forward
into my own consciousness that I too often shove away and shut down.
After all it's only more of me. Once these parts of me find legs, they
walk; once these parts of me find a voice, they share and speak, they
find words. And once they find words, I understand.
