I was feeling so anxious, angry, and unsafe. I felt like being a bulldozer out of control, no one steering and it moving at top speed, just reckless destruction, inside (and out, I said something not very nice to my Beloved). It was when my Beloved showed me how hurt he was by what I said that it arrested the wreckage, and my heart opened and the feelings of sadness and fear came pouring out. I felt truly cleansed after, and much more at peace. The point is that I could have hid from my feelings all day, either painting a happy face on them and pretending all was well, driving those feelings ever deeper into my psyche...or I could have kept them right under the surface without stopping to prick the wound, moving about like a robot with a broken chip, creating havoc wherever I went. For me, the wise path is to have the courage to feel the feelings, to gather the information the feelings were holding for me...thus releasing the tied-up energy inside. Energy Alchemy.
