WEEDING

     Weeding around vegetables and flowers is an ongoing summer chore, and the tenacity and come-back-ability of certain weeds is at once both annoying and impressive. Certain life issues are much like that. They come up and we deal with them and feel satisfied that they are handled and long-gone, and then they come up again, and again. They are learned-coping behaviors, rooted deep within us from years of use. Even when we dig them up and extract them with care, they grow back.
     The only thing for it is maintenence. Our lives, like our gardens, require consistent and regular weeding or they will become a jungle of dysfunction.

I recognize my "stuff" as it pops up over and over, and I pull it from the roots like weeds.
