First take the beam out of your own eye… -Matthew 7:5
So that old beam in the eye… what is it like?
Maybe it’s clinging to a story that is no longer true…
Or nursing an old hurt because it gives an odd (if destructive) sense of comfort…
Or seeking always the approval of others…
Or analyzing and rearranging the world to fit my fragility, my idea of how things should be…
Or barricading myself on the moral high ground instead of encountering another and listening…
Or compulsively avoiding all pain…
Or believing my narrative over anything else…
And being scarcely aware of any of the above…
Whoa! That’s a big beam!!
Being sick of the beam is a good first step to see about removing it.
