When old wounds lock down and imprison the heart and overcome the mind, acknowledge it completely and let compassion find its way through the cracks in the old walls that have been built over time. No matter how thick, the walls of resistance will crumble in the light of compassion. See that this too is part of the ever-changing, that what is left when the walls crumble is everything, nothing is gained by imprisoning the hurt and dwelling in the prison. Letting go is freedom.
