I envisaged this page complete and just did it . . . no procrastination or consideration about the time or materials, I just picked up the nearest pencil and drew. The whole page was there, a visual BFO (Blinding Flash of the Obvious) in my head . . . or is that my heart?
Sitting with our demons
I think perhaps that our demons are nothing more than our hurts child selves, that if we sit beside them and listen quietly we would be able to understand and help them to heal.
Wouldn’t we all do that for a child?
Why not ourselves?
Let me in.
Let me help . . . please?

Beautiful insight!
Thank you! By the way, the link to your blog takes me to a wordpress site and then takes me off to sign in at blogspot . . . where are you? Are you still blogging?
Excellent….thank you
And thank you, for taking the time to comment!
Someone told me the more we ignore these noisy creatures the louder they get because they have something important to say to us. Now I ask what they want me to know and wait for something to turn up in my dreams, thoughts, or a strong response to something I see. I think you are right about the inner child, we often carry old hurts this way:)
I want to rediscover and soothe my inner child and be about age 4 with the laughter and curiosity of that age . . . perfect naivety and joy, able to cry over heartaches and then okay again with a cuddle.
What we resist, persists. You have a healing insight there. Thank you for sharing it.
I like ring of, what we resist, persists. As soon as I find myself irritated or fighting/resisting something, I know there is work to do.
Love it! Those Demons do reappear at odd times don’t you find?

They do indeed . . . just when you think you’re on the up, whack!
BFO – that is great.
I must admit, it’s not original Beck. I heard someone say it years ago and it stuck. I mean, what else can you call it when something obvious finally gets through?
Such fabulous insight. I have come to similar conclusions recently. I am trying to show myself the same compassion I would someone else. A constant work in progress.
I could well be twice your age Natasha and I’m still a work in progress . . . most of its fun though. I really liked Quinn’s comment saying what we resist, persists.
yes i agree…. love the header on your page btw ….”Much better to start late than never to begin al all.” – prefect”
Hi Emma, thanks . . . before that quote I had one from Tammy Garcia . . . “You don’t have to catch up, you just have to start.” That’s a paraphrase of it.
