Josephine, I try, too!
So this one hit me,
“Don’t be satisfied with stories,
how things have gone with others.
Unfold your own myth.”
– Rumi
I have been home all day, house cleaning. I love a good purge, it makes me feel calm and in control. Boxing up the unwanted and giving them where they can be used. Cleaning up the dust and the dog hair. All of those things, they are just the things from another story. They don't belong in the current story. I clean them out, to make space for the new story to grow, almost like taking the weeds from a garden so the new plants can grow. I think love can be like that. You have to remove the old hurts and the old stores, to make space for the new happy things. My husband is definitely my life mate, but we definitely have past issues that have built up, like dust bunnies under the couch, lol. We are in a new phase of our story, I need to not hold on to the old stories, and make a space for the new 'myth' to take place.
