A Stirring Season

Restless. Unfocused. Spinning. Drifting. I feel stirred up inside. Sometimes I can reach the calm center, but just beyond this place my thoughts are scattered and in a swirl. Maybe this is just a reordering process. Maybe I should just go with it for bit. I keep it stirred up by worrying about it. What if I relax and let it settle on its own?

The whole world feels stirred up and our fear keeps it that way. Things are changing. They have to, but our fear gets in the way of the process of order to chaos to order again. We need to become the calm center at the eye of the storm and wait until we know what is ours to do. We need to float and not tread. Life will support us if we let it. And when we’re calm enough, we’ll know what to do.

As I focused on writing this, I came to the conclusions I needed. I’ll relax and keep things as simple as possible. I’ll float and listen. Maybe what I needed was at the bottom and the only way to find it was for things to get stirred up. And with a calm, focused mind I’ll more easily see it.
