“If integrate means ‘to make whole,’ then its opposite is to fracture, disown, disjoin, detach, unravel, or separate. I think many of us move through the world feeling this way. The irony is that we attempt to disown our difficult stories to appear more whole or more acceptable, but our wholeness–even our wholeheartedness–actually depends on the integration of all of our experiences, including the falls.”

Elisa,
I’ve been going through some severe health issues…Dialysis, kidney failure, and being septic. Bottom line you’ve been on my mind. I haven’t been on computer etc, so I send you my prayers and continued thoughts. Take care my friend…Peach / Karen

Hiya Peach! So kind of you to think of me! When I am ill, i can tend to feel less than, like I am broken. I recall feelings of wondering if others looked down at me. I tend to recoil from things like: I hope you feel better, which for me can assert that I must be miserable or need to escape. If I adopt this then i DO feel miserable. I for the most part, if i can get out from under the rock I agree to let others put on the top of me, wonder as often as I can at the thing i CAN do, that I Get to experience in my day, in my moment. I like knowing that I only have to get thru THIS one moment and that that ONE this moment can be faaaaaaaaaantastic! Please let me know here if there is anything I can do to help your NOW to be even more delicious! Big Hugs!
