We have this funny way of thinking if we brush something aside it goes away.  It clears the area and takes it out of view but it does not go away.  It is a gentle nudge and an adjustment of what is right in front of us but it then gathers itself on the peripheral.  In other words it is not the part of the iceberg we can see that causes the damage when we crash into it, it is the part beneath the surface we do not see.   There are times when brushing things aside so we can face the more immediate circumstances of our lives makes sense.  The difference is when we brush things aside because we would rather not deal with them or believe we are not capable of facing.  We risk things compounding or becoming worse until we cannot brush them aside.  Then we are forced to deal with them.  Some might argue that is how it is supposed to go.  It takes courage of the heart to look at something when it is the size at which we can brush it away versus waiting for it to be an immovable force in our lives.  It is choosing to listen to the whispers and hints calling our attention instead of just the bullhorn announcements.  In my experience, Spirit whispers with a still gentle voice, which can easily be brushed aside.  The closer we draw into connection with our hearts the more capable we are to attune ourselves to the frequency of the still small quiet voice.  I believe that some things are meant to be faced when they can be brushed aside and some things are meant to be faced when we can no longer brush them aside.  On my daily dates with God I get to decide in partnership with a being who sees the full value of my strength and courage for this life what calls for brushing and what calls for facing today.
