Perfect therapy
Great session this morning. Made me think that most of my healing efforts are time- rather than distance-based.
So, for instance, I have sat staring at the blank wall of a person who hurt me very badly. My strategy has been to wait for the wall to fall down or become permeable. My therapist pointed out that in her country people have been staring at a wall for 2000 years and the problems are still there.
On the other hand, if you pull back, say to 20,000 feet, that wall becomes a small part of a collage that's always changing. It's dynamic. Yes, the empty parts draw attention to themselves, but you can always edit.
Time heals. Distance heals. Maybe distance offers more bang for the buck today. That's what I'm thinking about.
