“Gonna leave this broke down palace…”
Wherever you look, crisis of things collapsing, strange behaviors and glitches. It is time to focus inward. Establishing a calm center in the “I” of the hurricane.
If attention is on the storm, the normal reaction is to freeze, fight or flee. Which results in being sucked in and blown away. It is simply the nature of being in a storm. Yet there is another tactic, which is to hunker down, take a deep breath and dive into yourself. Perhaps this is an enormous opportunity. A chance of transformation. Being still and surrendering to the transformation. Worrying and wondering what will happen often draws in and constrains what happens. The other imaginable position is to be open and let each moment transform and carry you. Results are not guaranteed. But what is guaranteed is that you will or will not. Conceivably a fool’s game or a brilliant tactic?
This is the 199th post. I am taking the opportunity to go beyond; a change… perhaps a transformation. I do not know what is on the other side. Meanwhile, leaving the posts for you to use, discard or destroy… however you decide what’s best. Largely, these posts are things I wish I’d had known. And only later realized they were stepping-stones, revelations, and catalysts for a change of being.
“If I don’t meet you no more in this world then uh,
I’ll meet ya on the next one
And don’t be late…” Voodoo Child, Jimi Hendrix, 1968
NOTE: Reach out if you want and I’ll do my best to respond. I’m still around, just attending to some other things. Perhaps a few random posts will continue, though not on a weekly schedule.
Blessing… until we meet again.
