I went to church this morning and during meditation was guided to think of a scar I have. It could be a physical scar or an emotional scar. We were guided to look at it from all directions. What story does it have to tell? The physical scar that came to my mind was one I have from my one and only surgery. It was several years ago right in the middle of a very dark time in my life. Something was seen on my mammogram. I had quite a bit of grief/anxiety going on as my beloved Mother-in-Law had just died unexpectedly. Now THIS. At the time I still had a great fear of needles and everything that goes along with medical stuff. Needless to say the procedure the doctor suggested was called a wire localization. Yes. They wanted to stick a wire THERE to guide the surgeon, along with cutting me open. Great. The day of the procedure, the wire was inserted and my doctor was called away to an emergency. Laying in a hospital bed for 3 extra hours living one of my greatest fears created a palpable shift in my thinking. It was an experience that brought about the healing of a fear I had carried with me for many years. I walked away from there with my head held high, knowing. Fear dissipates when confronted with action. And for this I am grateful.....
