Oh, Tree. This was truly the mst beautiful thing I have read in a long time. The analogy of moving the rocks and the water flowing now into different places and once the rock has been moved it can no longer be replaced and stop the flow of water. I think it so describes the pain we feel after a traumatic memory has been unearthed. It is what we have been avoiding. Everything we do to keep those rocks in place even if the flow of water pushes HARD against them. NO! I will LEAN on the rocks if I have to. NO FLOW! That is what, for me, food does, SI does, dissociating does, anything. It leans on the rocks and refuses to move them to allow the pain to flow.

I think the best part is that once you are used to the new flow, you will enjoyand maybe even LOVE the new sounds and beauty of what you now have. What a perfect analogy. You are inspirational and awesome, Tree
