"Yakety yak (don't talk back)"

Can you imagine what would happen if I did not take out the kitchen trash?  After a few weeks, the smell would be rancid.  The rot would eventually attract unwelcome insects and rodents into my home.  Nasty! 

This is a good analogy for what happens when I do not live in the present moment but instead hang on to the old stories playing in my head.  Replaying these aged experiences reinforce lack.  If I am rehashing life by blaming, comparing, explaining poor choices, judging and rationalizing then I have become an object ... a sack of trash. 

Today is trash day.  I'm cleaning house ... out go the false beliefs.  I'm creating an inner space where a changed heart can flourish. 

"Take out the paper and the trash!"  (Coasters Lyrics)
