Bleeding hearts bear heart-shaped flowers, from which "drops of blood" dangle at the bottom. These dainty flowers usually turn up in the months of April and May. I thought how peculiar this is as i am once again experiencing a heart-burn like feeling. Because of a certain condition i was born with called mitral valve complex, occasionally i feel some heavy pressure in my chest.
And...right on the heels of yesterday's very emotional events. One relative was brought to a recovery center for addiction. The immediate family was in such raw pain, one can almost see hearts that were bleeding. Sometimes one would rather choose a pain that is physical than emotional. Seeing a loved one suffer or, getting hurt deeply by them is just way more painful.
What do we make of pain? It is said that people are driven to recovery because of pain. In our bodies pain calls our attention to the parts that need to heal.
There is redeeming value in pain we go through. The bleeding heart flower reminds me of that.
Where does it hurt right now? Maybe it is time to give that some positive attention.
