The butterfly's cocoon

The biggest challenge after a fight is always forgiveness. Some people say, "I forgive but I don't forget". In truth, nobody ever forgets. The human brain is designed to store eveything we have ever learnt and experienced. It is our memory recall that is usually an issue.

The brain is also designed to protect us and when a memory is too painful the brain forms something like a cobweb to cocoon and lock up that memory.

At some time in the future, when we are able, that memory is released like a butterfly comming out of its cocoon. Hopefully this will happen at a time when we are able to effectively deal with that memory and get emotional and spiritual healing.

Dealing with past hurts can be a very liberating experience, it also comes with great joy. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you if there are some issues you think you need to work through.
