Some images we recall from our childhood experience that are more than memory. They seem imprinted on us, so that they do not change over time, the way many other memories will. It is these fixed images that have shaped us most of all, have reached us in some deep place and when we call them to mind, what we experience is certain recognition of who we are.
It is a good practice to do this when we are beset by any of the trials and tribulations we encounter in everyday life. We can get distracted, and worry about events, choices, and even what path we are on.
Yet in that deep place, we are the same. We know that person, our inner self, by those images, and in that place is utter calm.
