There is a saying, “Eat the meat, spit out the bones.” Why are there so many bones? Most of our spiritual walk seems to be purging ourselves of all the bad stuff we were fed. Spiritual food-poisoning. But we must do it. It’s part of the healing process. Acquire the original drawing of this cartoon. Or buy a print.
