By the time I finish this post, it will close onto 2:00 a.m. Should have been asleep for several hours. Except, I took something personally. I put something in the context of the past & of ancient hurts rather than seeing what was in front of me, devoid of distracting baggage.
The incident doesn't matter. What matters is seeing where it went off the rails. When I experienced what happened in an immediate moment as a layered experience, with the presenting moment buried under a just - recent - ancient past.
Lots to ponder in that. Reframe the emotionally shredding response as if I'd just responded instead of reacting. One thing is for sure - would have gotten off to sleep a lot sooner!
