Storytelling is the oldest ritual in the world and today I want to share one of my favorite ones with you.
Two monks were traveling together and came to a river with a very strong current. They began to cross to the other side, but they noticed a young woman trying to cross who needed help. She asked them to assist her.
The two monks glanced at one another because they had taken vows not to touch a woman.
Then, without a word, the older monk picked up the woman, carried her across the river, placed her gently on the other side, and carried on with his
journey.
The younger monk couldn’t believe that the older monk had actually touched a woman. After walking for a few hours, he blurted out, “how could you have touched a woman when we are forbidden from having contact with any women?”
The older monk looked at him and replied, “Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river, why are you still carrying her?”
How many of us are still carrying around past hurts, anger, sadness and resentment? Now is a time to choose to lighten up and move on without the heaviness of the past. You may be able to do this alone or you may need help, but I find that without letting go, the one we are really hurting is ourself.
