Things bubble up

to the surface

when it is safe

to deal with them.

That safe time

can be

months,

years,

a lifetime later.

Safe doesn’t mean easy.

Life’s choices produce

a constant stream

of second thoughts,

worries, and regrets.

We may not be aware

of what is

floating

below the surface

until some event

brings a forgotten memory

to our consciousness.

We all experience

moments of reckoning

when we must

STOP

and address

the past.

Health issues

might lead us

into a

deep immersion

in unresolved conflicts

as far back as

childhood.

It might be

a safe time

to look back,

but it is not easy.
