The Love that lies beneath every painful story I carry with me is the source of what I tell myself as a way of managing betrayal, abandonment, disappointment, and despair.  This Love doesn't wish me to suffer. It understands that these distressing experiences look and feel like the villains of life, yet, they are a valuable part of the journey toward becoming my full self. I have learned that when I dive down into the depths of any hurtful, negative, or limiting story, I can find the Love that lies beneath it. When I connect to that Love, I reclaim more of my Soul, which heals my Heart.

This story gives us the path through those moments when we find ourselves unpleasantly surprised by a change in our lives, by the dishonesty or betrayal of someone that we thought loved us. I like to think of the straw in the story as the events of our lives, the fairly ordinary stuff of life, some of its even mud-caked or covered with manure, but it’s that ordinary straw. How do we, as the beings walking in this three-dimensional plane, how do we take that straw and transform it into a rich, gleaming, enduring treasure?

Learning how to think metaphorically about my life was a powerful turning point in my journey. I discovered that I could be accountable for my experience of the conditions of my life while allowing others to be responsible for theirs.

I could accept my own contributions to the conditions of my life without having to blame or shame myself.
