Suppression also played another tragic role. By burying my pain, by avoiding my heartaches, I lost touch with knowing and owning what was important to me. I no longer went within, which was a scary road. If you were once attacked on a road, you make sure to avoid it. But the avoidance means you also miss out on the wild flowers when they’re blooming, the snow-capped mountains in winter, the waterfall, the deer, the beautiful people, like Tony, who walk there every day. You also miss out on knowing yourself better, on understanding what is important to you.
Look back on your life and think about what caused you stress, unhappiness, embarrassment, and humiliation. It is unlikely you will find it was the Earth, the ocean, nature, the mountains, the plants, the animals, the wind, the rain, the snow, or the sun. It is likely you will find it was people, always the people, and the systems they created, such as work, money, laws, marriage, politics, and religion.
