If I have not been thorough... Let's see.
I had been judgmental about the way my oldest son was setting out on his life's journey after school. I didn't know it though. For some reason (LOLOLOL... I've heard something about being self centered...) I thought what was best for him was what
I wanted for him.... I didn't inventory this, but looking back, I could have, should have... I didn't think it was important, I didn't see it as a resentment, or fear or whatever....
The wall of illusion came tumbling down recently. Fortunately in a non-damaging way, but I felt I had been kicked in the gut... I didn't see it... I was blind, I didn't know.
I was given the gift of awareness... I nearly cried. But I am relieved, I found the willingness to ask that my hopes and dreams for him will be his own and not mine. I am now at peace in this regard.
This was one of those spiritual awakenings that was an epiphany and the weight I was carrying was immediately lifted.
