I hear stretching is good for old injuriesCategories: Alchemy
There comes a point at which problems cant be solved, the mess cant be untangled, the damage cant be repaired, and there are no options or alternatives left. And then what do you do? How do you fix something that cant be fixed? How do you solve the unsovable? How do you heal scars?
There is a point at which giving up is a good thing. Yesterday at lunch we talked about ‘getting free’ rather than ‘giving up’, but actually, i like the phrase giving up, because theres an element of offering something up, making a sacrifice.
Jung said that we do not solve most of our important developmental problems, we outgrow them. We get bored eventually with turning them over and over, we get distracted by something else, and we leave them and grow towards something else. Much like a rubik’s cube. I never solved one. Did you? And yet life goes on. A lot of the trouble is coming from letting the head deal with heart stuff. When the heart hurts, and the head tries to fix that with rationalisations, well maybe you can and maybe you cant but the heart hurts anyway. And having failed to stop the heart-hurt, the head tries new rationalisations…
I give up. Im just gonna hurt till it stops. And stretch when i can.

Honestly Joey solving the Rubik’s cube was so easy!
You just had to get a butter knife and pry out one or two of the middle blocks, then you could take the whole thing apart and put it back together the right way.(MJ is someone who thinks outside of the box…er cube)
