Suzanne’s Personal Quote and Blog for 8/9/2022

Quote

Sometimes we have to just stop and be.

That is the best way to be able to see.

See into the issues that we have tried to avoid.

Address the upsets that have strained and annoyed.
There will always be things that need to be done.

But that will allow the mind to endlessly run.

And peace that is wanted disappears in the haze.

And all those insights designed to amaze.

Will drop into the background and wait for another time.

When we can be still and reach behind.

The thoughts that torture us away from truth.

And finally sit to look at the stars from the roof.

There are moments in life where we use all the tools we have.
We attempt to move from the places of acceptance and kindness, only to have others deny the truth we attempt to speak to them from the deepest places within our heart.

Too often we expect that if we speak from those places … to be heard.
But expectation and attachment are bedfellows in all dances of karma.
Traumas happen to all of us.
When they combine from multiple angles in a moment, that is when we experience the loops of emotions from PTSD.
I like to think of it as PTS because the “D” for disorder is a label suggesting a problem when I believe it is really a process trying to work its way through.
It is really Post Traumatic Stress energy that has not found a way to be released from the body/mind. This energy seeks to understand and to come to some resolution but instead heads down pathways that seem to loop back to the original spot again.

That is why the greatest gift we can give another is to listen and allow them to express what is trying to emerge and recognize how difficult that can be and to accept what they say is true for them in that moment. That does not mean we have to agree or get caught up in the trauma that they are feeling.
We all need others to witness us.
We long for others to be fully present with us.
We do not need others to solve our problems, as much as, believe in the fact that we can find the answers we seek if we can sometimes talk them through externally and out loud.

Thoughts can be a jumble when the emotions get involved. Thoughts want a rational explanation, but emotions are rarely rational.

It is in their irrationality that mistakes happen, reactions make responses more problematic. What the soul needs … comes out in odd ways that can cause consternation in others.

While we do not want to be seen as an overly emotional creature, often logic goes by the wayside when there are enough triggers happening.
This current astrology is causing a lot of triggers for humanity.

Such moments usually occur because we are exhausted, and our reserves are low. We attempt to communicate but the exhaustion is such that the emotions override the tactfulness of the mind and the full force of what has been buried surfaces.

The positive value is in showing vulnerability and authenticity. But there are those that we often were not prepared to show them what we were really feeling. Nor did we have the intention to do so.

That is where the discomfort comes in.

Such embarrassing moments remind us that we are still a work in progress. And that being human is messy and awkward.

Perhaps we should call it Post Traumatic Stress Discomfort.

Do your best.

And leave the rest.

Know that the door.

Is too often ignored.

Let the past go in the wind.

Know that clinging is never your friend.

Trust the process and be honest and true.

Then you will eventually find your way through.
