I remember being stuck behind an emotional iceberg for a
long time and I became very familiar with the terrain. It is because of this
journey that I am now able to recognise when others may be in the same position
as I was in all that time.
I did, however, managed to escape so now I provide a search
and rescue service to those who want or need it.
When I recently realised that a dear friend was trapped
behind their own emotional iceberg I mustered up all my strength and threw a
lifeline of love out to them; it appeared on their side of the iceberg as a
sturdy rope that they grabbed, tied firmly around their body and started to
move forwards.
What we both realised, as time passed, was that the sun was
shining onto the top of the iceberg and it was melting thereby making the
height of the blockade shrink with every forward step.
When they had fully emerged into the sunlight I was told
that being sent the lifeline of love and hope was an act of beauty in the midst
of desolation as they needed to know that they were loved but, at that time,
they were unable to reach out for help.
Sometimes we are behind the icebergs ourselves, other times
we have the ropes and sunshine on our side so we must use them to rescue others
from their despair.
