And all of a sudden something seems possible.
A fog has cleared. The road block a speck in the rear view mirror.
And I'm feeling much lighter, much happier, much more myself.
A certain wholeness.
It's never one thing, though.
That would be like basing this gradually building confidence on balancing a plate on a single supporting rod.
It takes many layers of support, on top of a foundation that was laid sometime ago.
Activity begets activity. Something begets something. And off we go...
Though is this the time for stillness and contemplation?
Should this now be the time for energy, action, drive?
Change is happening rapidly. The thin and weak trickling stream that starts from a small place eventually flows into the rapid torrents of the river that flows into the ocean.
We don't always see the change coming. We aren't always aware of those actions of ours that are ushering in that change.
When it comes and I see the newness and a future of possibility and opportunity, stillness will always give me the time to absorb that change, ingrain it within me.
Allow the change to run deep, become habit, not just momentary.
Stillness feeds a soul's hunger for replenishment and nourishment.
Today's stillness is some good music, a cup of tea, sitting back really listening. That's how I'm going to recharge in the time and space that has presented itself.
