Trapped

Some days I find the core of who I am buried so deep in layers from the past that I have to work hard to dig myself out. It's amazing how easily some little thing can happen, some inconsiderate word can be spoken, and suddenly I find myself acting out emotions from long ago. 

When I find myself tied to the past, I try to recognize what is happening and then ground myself in the present. I have a wonderful life, in a beautiful place, surrounded by love. When I can bring myself back to this place of gratitude then the past can slip back into the past. Once again I can see the Light.
