The Side-car

 

For years it has festered, yet I understand it is in the past and there is nothing to be done.  So how do I not let it bother me?  If I put it out of my mind, where does it go? Where are the things I’m not thinking about?  They don’t simply dissolve.  They do not disintegrate or grow old and wither away, because if I wanted to, I could recall them and they would fester all over again. 

I believe the key here is the sidecar.  These issues each have a sidecar attached.  The issue can be put to bed, but sitting in the sidecar is emotion.  It is that emotion that allows the festering.  The trick is to view the issue but ignore the emotion attached to it.
