There are parts of ourselves that we want to just throw into the deep end of the pool and never have to look at again, things we can not stand about ourselves. Then as age mellows us we can either drain the pool so we can deal with all the stuff we have thrown in, or we can risk drowning and jump in and try to deal with it while holding our breath. I would rather do it while being able to breathe and not be in a hurry. So, I think that is what is happening in my life these days, drain the pool and see what I have thrown in there.
