As you uncover old wounds—yes,
“uncover,” for some you have buried so deeply in your mind that you are unaware
of the effect they still have on you—fill the wound with love. There is a reason that you can now see these
past events and behaviors that continue to affect you. You have opened your eyes more fully to who
you really are—a beautiful, eternal soul who is here to learn through your
challenges and triumphs. Now that you
see why you think and behave as you do, can you not feel compassion for
yourself? Compassion and love are the
most healing of balms, and self-healing is what it takes to move on and
grow. It need not be painful. Compassion will take away the pain in an
instant.
