Re-dredging the tired, boring injustices of our personal lives… #writing

“Don’t get me wrong.  I’ve got nothing against true healing.  We all need it.  But it has nothing to do with doing our work and it can be a colossal exercise in Resistance.  Resistance loves ‘healing.’  Resistance knows that the more psychic energy we expend dredging and re-dredging the tired, boring injustices of our personal lives, the less juice we have to do our work.”

How true!
