What it is isn't as important as to why I have been thinking of this over & over.
Boil it down and it's a small thing.
Just today I was reminded of the story of two monks & here's how it goes
A senior monk and a junior monk were traveling together. At one point, they came to a river with a strong current. As
the monks were preparing to cross the river, they saw a very young and
beautiful woman also attempting to cross. The young woman asked if they
could help her.
The senior monk
carried this woman on his shoulder, forded the river and let her down on
the other bank. The junior monk was very upset, but said nothing.
They both were
walking and senior monk noticed that his junior was suddenly silent and
enquired “Is something the matter, you seem very upset?”
The junior monk replied, “As monks, we are not permitted a woman, how could you then carry that woman on your shoulders?”
The senior monk replied, “I left the woman a long time ago at the bank, however, you seem to still be carrying her.”
I'm goes taking that advice & letting it go and gosh by golly, that burden already feels light
Maybe it's a relationship, maybe it's work, health, family or something else WE/I can not control
