Beyond the Pain

A long year has gone by.

Ch ch changes.

Ups and downs.

But, it seems THE BOOK is calling me back.

So, I am starting up again.

When inspired, or perspired, I’ll be back.

I’ve been thinking about this a long, long, long time.

Finally, today it hit me!

I’ve been SOOO focused on my physical pain that I neglected the fact that there are really 4 dimensions or aspects of pain. In fact, pain can come from 4 directions.

What are they?

1. The first is obvious: Physical Pain. This  is the one we are most aware of. We skin our knee, do too much physical labour — and, we hurt.
2. The second is just as common: Emotional Pain. But, this one we often deny. Until it really, really hurts — like when the divorce comes final or a loved one dies.
3. The third is common too: Psychological Pain. Anyone who’s suffered severe trauma, knows this one.
4. The fourth hurts just as much: Spiritual Pain. But, we often don’t realize it. This comes when we fail to exercise our God Given Gifts.
