If I (finally)face something that I have not dealt with in the past, then I can achieve a sacred connection that endures.

Does this sound like a proper interpretation? I would appreciate anyone's input.

My question was something along the lines of "what do I need to do, or what do I need to work on. Funny, though, I think I've gotten the same answer to a few other questions.

Thanks!

I would say it is a pretty accurate translation, Line 6 says, "such withdrawal is only justified..." Have you withdrawn from somebody or some situation? That would include not attending to something that needs to be taken care of.

Or perhaps, you have found yourself critical in some way? Even perhaps of yourself? If things are left to themselves, nothing ever becomes of them, nothing at all happens. Perhaps there is a need now to deal with situations that need to be dealt with.

Unfortunately, probably all of the above apply. Some long-standing issues that are preventing me from moving forward, also causing me to be extremely unkind to myself. Damn, after 5 years, I'm starting to understand something. Thanks, Gene.
