#28 Voices From the Past

Today I heard myself say, "But if the bruises are gone, no one will believe me!" I was referring to a situation in the here and now.
But, a few minutes later, I realized that it was also a voice from the past. It even sounded like a six year old on the verge of tears.
It is a very strange phenomenon...
I hear things come out of my mouth that I just did not know or I did not know that I knew.
And I hear things come out of my mouth that only seem to be about the here and now but, on reflection, they are more applicable to some thing or some one from my past.
So much of my life these days, how I think and feel about stuff, is not just about the here and now but it is also about the there and then.
