Inner Journey

"We can change jobs or lovers, travel around the world, become a doctor or lawyer or expert mountain climber, or nobly put our life on hold to care for an ailing mother or father, and when we are done, though the worthy distraction could take years, the threshold we did not pass within will still be there." Mark Nepo

How very true.  We are so busy within our lives.  If you are a caregiver, that takes hours and hours of time and much emotional energy.  There is not time, usually, within caregiving to think about our inner world.  And, it will be waiting.  Whatever we have not addressed within will be there for us to work on when the worthy distraction is done.
