Self Exploration

October 22, 2013 by Inside Press

By Grace Bennett

Not too long ago, my Self surrendered under extreme duress to enemy forces. Sadly, she is still being held hostage by said forces intent on replaying, reliving, retelling.  Re…diculous!

Fortunately, positive internal negotiations are underway to rescue imprisoned Self, and especially to restore her vitality, which was seriously compromised during a largely unprovoked siege led by another, one might argue, more self preserving Self.

An outside individual, offering freely and generously from herSelf wisely advises: “Once you stop hitting the replay button to get to the bottom of what happened and why, you will be just fine.”

Moral of the story:  Sometimes, for survival and sanity’s sake, you need to hang up the quest for clarity and resolution simply to clear a path for the far more critical and safe return of your very essence. To thine own self: not only be true…be a hero.
