Taking a little trip...

How’d you get here, to this place, filled with so many thoughts, questions, and desires? If you really wanted to know, I could tell you how you arrived here. I could tell you all of the items you packed in your bags, how you received those items, which items you purchased for yourself, those that were given freely, and those that were pushed upon you. Did you even think about all that stuff you brought with you? If I had to guess, there are things in those bags of yours that you unconsciously brought along, extra stuff that you didn’t need and it just found its way into that suitcase of yours.

I’d like to share something with you. You aren’t going to need those extras where you’re going, especially all of those things you didn’t realize you had packed, until I informed you of their presence. I know how you feel. A lot of those things were important…once you start the trip, you aren’t going to be needing them. Too much in your bags can really weigh you down. Did you realize that? Then again, judging from the way your shoulders stoop from time to time, you must have known the effects of all those extras, the toll they were taking. Those shoulders aren’t going to slump anymore. I can see the change already, it’s small but I can tell that you are more comfortable already. Come back to visit me in a few days and tell me how you about your trip. I’ll be excited to hear about it.
