Heal the Past

     The parts of the past that hurt are its memories.We remember the pain and horror of what happened,and we hurt again.Fortunately,we can heal the memories of the past.One technique for doing this is to go into your sanctuary,sit in front of the video screen and on the screen,watch the memory that is causing the pain.The halo around the screen is dark.,Let the memory play itself out.Then let the image fade.See the white light around the screen glow brightly.Then see the same scene the way you wanted it to be.
                 What do you wish had happened?See it.What do you wish you had said?Hear yourself saying it.What do you wish others had responded?See them responding that way.What would you like to have felt?feel that.
Replacing a negative  memory with a positive one heals.Healing of memories takes time,and no small amount of courage,but the results are worthy of the effort.Of one thing I am certain,the body is not the measure of healing-peace is the measure.

She remembers the Tearful Farewell Scene

For weeks now,my mother has been stacking linens and sweaters in piles on the sofa.I've gained eighteen pounds in the past two months and the small square refrigerator already sits in the car's trunk,smugly.But the surgeon have just reopened your stitches and I don't know how to tell you I'm leaving for college.If you had a bowl of porridge cooling on the nightstand,I'd think we were on the set of a play about the infirmary of a boarding house.Cost of abandoned boys and their terse and hurried nurses.

I miss your old room with the guitar in the corner,the curtain I could tug around us for privacy.They've shaved the top of tour head again and the staples are back in place along your scalp.And I tell you like it's no big deal.I'll just see you on weekends and you grab a hank of hair and yank my face closer,then remember to be gentle and pet me a little,sighing College Girl.


When I ask you for advice,I mean I promised not to baffle my brain with acid like you.I promise to come home intact.Your whole mouth works to form the words you want before you manage to pronounce:egg crate.And then louder:egg crate.Again.agitated-egg crate.It takes the sternest nurse to settle you back against the sheets,to explain you mean the orthopedic foam between the mattress and your back.She says you can pick one up at Caldors.Look down at you and adds He's been sleeping much better with his.And you tug a few strands of my hair again,nodding triumphantly.And I say sure thing.And I tell you Good-bye.

A way to have PEACE

     Peace is the cessation of against.If you want peace,stop fighting.If you want peace of mind,stop fighting with your thoughts,let them be.Let them think what they want to think.They're going to do it anyway.As long as your mind gives you enough focus to take the next step in the direction you want to go,then let it be.
              If you want peace in your emotions,stop trying to control them.Feelings are there to feel.Let them feel,take information from them as needed,and let them feel what they want to feel.
        If you want physical peace,stop the struggle of life.Don't push the bony beyond its fatigue point.Rest the body enough.Exercise it enough.Then let it be.If you want peace with others don't fight them.Go your own way,Live your own life.If some walk wit you,fine.If there's nothing then it also fine.
        But always keep the peace with in yourself ,then you can also bring peace to others,When you are not against your self and other,you are at peace.
       Sometimes we don't need to mind people around us,so that we have PEACE.
