It seems that you are ready there :) Of course, it helps if the person is no longer a part of one's life, which I assume is the case here?Marguerite Manteau-Raohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956537059369707663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-69993231510158859342011-01-03T23:01:23.018-08:002011-01-03T23:01:23.018-08:00I like that image, that it will drop out like a ro...I like that image, that it will drop out like a rotten fruit.

I take them as part of the course . . . amazing as they tend to show up as a cohort, as here: greed, anger, ill will, anxiety, doubt. Knowing that they are a universal problem does help!

I had a number of stories that needed to be dropped recently. Like you I find metta practice to be very healing, but I also think we can learn by looking closely at which of the hindrances - doubt, anxiety, ill will, sloth, desire (sometimes all of them) is taking up our energies. Not for nothing are these hindrances also called teachers.Ed Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944838511258303518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-57026829651493455232010-12-29T13:18:54.734-08:002010-12-29T13:18:54.734-08:00Wonderful post Marguerite, and thank you so much f...Wonderful post Marguerite, and thank you so much for the link to my Blog.<br />May you be well, happy and peaceful.David Schmidthttp://www.wellhappypeaceful.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-46469452392551368192010-12-29T12:47:24.343-08:002010-12-29T12:47:24.343-08:00ok :-)ok :-)Dorishttp://inoma-words.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166459572149699816.post-41728183111398938462010-12-29T10:42:48.422-08:002010-12-29T10:42:48.422-08:00Well, thank you Liz, for partaking in this story a...Well, thank you Liz, for partaking in this story about story making mind . . .
