Life direction

Last night I had a dream about a man who wanted to help another man on the other side of a road but knew he wouldn’t want his aide. The man in need saw him and yelled at him not to help. Then the would-be-helper fell and broke both of his knees. The person in need dropped a tray, glass smashed, he fell onto it and a huge wedge of glass was stuck in his knee. So two men were severely injured because one of them refused help. 

Knees relate to our life direction, so injury to them can be a halt in our path. It made me wonder what assistance I am refusing that is keeping me stuck. I feel like I have gratefully taken so much that has been gifted from others as I journey through the dark tides. Maybe the help I am refusing is from myself.

How have you been stayed when resisting assistance, and what happened when you opened up to the help offered?
