In the world of the elements, water represents our emotional selves. As I wake up to some ice outside, I wonder what frozen emotions are like. Is it possible that we have pockets of emotions that we think are dealt with, but they're really just frozen bits of ourselves.
What happens when they thaw out?
Watching Prayers for Bobby last night, I thnk I hit some icey patches. It's been along time since I thought about, with any depth, my 12+ year struggle reconciling my spirituality and sexuality. And although I read the book, watching the movie has opened up a new set of emotions for me. It probably only adds to the mix that the watery sign of Pisces is just around the corner.
I think I'm realizing that there are probably other patches of ice inside of me. Places that, when the time is right, will be warmed by the light of the sun and turn to water so they can return to the earth. So today I'm grateful for finding the icey patches in my life that need to be brought to the light of the sun.
I have been having the same thoughts today. What have I crammed inside so far that it can't see out but needs to break free and be released.
Love your post and "The Voice" post from yesterday.
