For me it's because the mind understands, but does not feel. The heart feels, but does not understand. It takes time and love for the understandings of the mind to reach my heart and be accepted. I heard from a very wise friend today that the most difficult journey is the one from the mind to the heart. For me that is very true. The more time and love that I give my own heart, the sooner it will heal, just like with any injury. But if I keep picking at it and expecting it to just get up and go without proper recovery it will _never_ heal.
What helps me the most is to reach out to others who hurt more than I do. There's no shortage of them at my meetings. It's the best pain-killer I've found yet.
Whadya think?
