Like a Beach Ball in the Ocean

Since I was starting a website to help people ponder over their lives and move forward, it was inevitable that I would go through some personal changes. The last year has changed me a lot. But what is really worth a second thought is that some of the changes grew from an “old seed.” Something that happened to me 4 years ago changes me still.

I dealt with it like I was easily adjusting to it. I remember that I thought I had to; it was the only way I would get through it. Now I say to myself, “How could I think that wasn’t going to affect me…change me?”

Stuff finds a way to surface.

Like a buoyant object pushed deep into the water it is impossible to control and may not surface where it was pushed down. It may pop up somewhere completely different and surprise you as it flies into obvious existence. When it does, don’t repeat the process. Pushing it back down just means it’s coming up again, perhaps somewhere else.

Sit with it.

Accept it.

Understand its effect on your human self.

How else can we move on with the constant surprise of a resurfacing past, never knowing where or when?

How else can we find the lesson?

The lesson is where the positive change is.
