Seeing Problems as Opportunities

Now this is  going to be a tough one...to see my ulcerative colitis as an "opportunity".  I have to start taking care of the little things and make my heart sing.  Govinda writes that letting go is very important.  The air we breathe in, the food we eat becomes toxic (to us) once our bodies are done with it and we must let it go.  I must define my ideal: certainly good health is a part of that but not the ideal in itself.  The health problem is perhaps a sign that I am not letting go. I must consciously and unconsciously release this health problem to God, often, frequently, repeatedly; I give it away.  "how much time and energy do I invest in protecting certain ways of thinking about myself?"

I visualize my colon, removed from my body lying on a sculpted pedestal being healed by God...weird I know!
