Holding pain...


Pain is uncomfortable and I try to avoid or ignore it. But as I run from it, I often get slapped around by it as if caught by the writhing tail of a tornado. This time I move towards the "eye", or center of my emotional tornado where there is always stillness and peace.

The area surrounding the "eye" of a tornado is called the "eye wall" and it's where the winds are most intense. The closer I get to the core of my pain, the more it hurts, and it is then that I must continue through, to that place within me, that regardless of what happens around me, remains calm.
