Another message from the reading fairies.....

If we are being pelted by pain, there is a lesson.

Trust that idea.

Something is being worked out in us.

It takes courage to be willing to stand still and feel what we must feel.

Sometimes, we have what seems like endless layers of pain inside us.

Pain hurts.

Grief hurts.

Sadness hurts.

It does not feel good.

But neither does denying what is already there; neither does living a lifetime with old and new pockets of pain packed, stored, and stacked within.

It will only hurt for a while, no longer than necessary, to heal us.

We can trust that if we must feel pain, it is part of healing, and it is good.

We can become willing to surrender to and accept the inevitable painful feelings that are a good part of moving forward.
