Metaphors for healing
Sometimes what we cannot say directly, we can say through story. Twenty gentle metaphors — one for each day — to walk beside you on the road toward recovery.
Today's Metaphor
The Passing Clouds
Thoughts drift; you are the sky.
Difficult thoughts and feelings are like clouds passing across a wide, open sky. Some are light and wispy, others heavy and dark. You are not the clouds — you are the sky that holds them all. Storms come and go, but the sky remains.
A small practice
When a hard thought arrives, silently name it: 'a cloud.' Watch it move across your mind without chasing it or pushing it away.
A new metaphor appears each day — come back tomorrow for the next reflection.
