The level of water in this lake that I see only occasionally receded with summer setting in! I was surprised to notice the broken trunk of a large trees jetting out above the surface of the water.
In fact the tree trunk seemed to rejuvenate itself with shoots emerging form it!
The tree has had a past and it was submerged for a long time!
A lot of our past remains concealed in our inner lives.
A father who spoke to me about his anger towards his five year old son because of his disobedience confessed to me that he was badly treated in his childhood by his father! The memory of anger and humiliation suffered return to him every time his son does even a trivial mischief!
All of us need freedom form our past, whether it be guilt, humiliation, anger, hurt, etc! Listening to the conversation going on in our mind whenever we revisit our past is one way of hearing to become conscious of the liberation we need to live freely and fully!
It is by welcoming our past in a friendly disposition we can counsel our soul to its fullness of joy!
