APPLE TREE IN SPRING

Taking a deep dive in therapy will require working with memories. It is the tough ones we wish we could avoid. Most people have heard the old adage: "The only way out is through." It is a journey which is worth it in ways which will give back for the rest of your life, but it requires some courage. One goal is to get to the good memories, and to build on those. Find the original, not just the deflections we used to get through hard times. Find the unsullied, healthy, vibrant, happy parts of ourselves again, however deep they may lie. And build outward. APPLE TREE IN SPRING We will be there, In the apple blossom wonder A smell unmatched by any other, Up in the boughs, Our childhood laughter Amid the bumblebees, And the intoxicating flowers
