They are pulling down and rebuilding the house next door. The banging was particularly impressive this morning and I was doing a sterling job of remaining centred and calm, not ignoring it as much as allowing it to be. Until I read this:
"Every time our buttons get pushed, we could see it as an opportunity to have our own minds be healed of another aspect of that conditioning. We could even be the most grateful to those of 'get our goat' the most, for they offer us the biggest opportunities to heal.
Step by step, our minds become clearer. We may have to repeat this process many times on a given issue, until it is gone. We may be tempted, when the issue returns to think that forgiveness hasn't worked, but we can rest assured that, each time we chip away at it, it is getting smaller."*
Crash.... Bang.... Smash! I thought the sledgehammer was going to break through the wall! I dissolved into laughter! Who says angels don't have a sense of humour?!
So, relax! We're getting there, sometimes it feels like we are getting no where, but we are getting there.
