Paige 145, feeling fully to me means life itself

Paige 145, feeling fully to me means life itself. Knowing and experiencing their emotions is a gift I want with all my heart for all my children. Feelings are like a river. If we stuff them up, our emotional stream becomes stagnant, dirty, disease ridden. It's like trying to build barriers against the mighty Mississippi. Eventually the flood builds and breaks through in wrenching, destructive ways, as it did so tragically in the summer of 93. When people break, we get mayhem, even murder, and certainly expensive therapy bills. When we allow our feelings to flow freely, we're cleansing our system. Our minds are clear, and our lives are a joy to live. Feeling fully is essentially is essential to growing and learning, to health, to living. Otherwise we're on automatic pilot, operating out of old patterns and belief systems. We are not fully experiencing life.
