Removing the Boulder

Negative feelings like fear, anger, or sadness, are a styrofoam boulder that feel like they fill me completely. Peace is liquid that I can pour over the top of the boulder, and it will fill the interstitial spaces of me. As more peace pours in, the boulder floats up and out, until I am filled with peace. I do not have to remove the boulder before I can have peace, I can have peace and the boulder at the same time, until the peace removes the boulder.

I don't have to remove the boulder, peace will.
