Confession May Be Good For the Soul......Native American

[Julia Kimber]

Confession may be good for the soul, but it seldom makes the one that
heard it feel good. The need to clear the air or get something out in
the open can cause a bigger rift than the reason for confessing in the
first place. Words cannot be retrieved once they are spoken. They are
gone and calling them back is impossible. Some weigh on
people's hearts like 'hi lv s gi ti s di', a spear, to wound. And most
should never have been spoken. Life and death are in the use of words.
If we feel the need to confess something, we should do it where the
listener knows how to handle what we say. It is an unthinking person
that needs to be relieved of a burden to the point of putting it on
someone who may find it hard to bear.

roots have been wasted by many rains. ~
