About your “self”, your career, your partner, and the way in which the world works.
Something that you held inside like a lens that had you laid over life, filtering it to your comfort.
You are placed in a trance by your own vision, going along until one day, something happens and it is so contrary to how you “know” things to be. An unmet expectation, an unwanted surprise at the wrong time.
You can't believe it. This is not how things should be!
Ah but it is how things are.
This has happened for me many times, and when I feel like I've learned and mastered the avoidance of such a feeling…”here's Johnny!”
It's like I forget, when I just shouldn't be surprised.
You can only be so “organic”, life is not all “free range” 😝🌞.
I can only be so enlightened, or at least for now 😇😅.
I've been caught up with my own seasonality. I sometimes feel a little shame around it but then I remind myself, I am literally an animal in a complex ecosystem.
Everything in and on this planet is going through constant cycles of death and rebirth, me included.
And that is a good thing. That is a blessing from the all, the opportunity to be here and have this experience and share it with others.
But it 10000% does not always feel like that.
The quicker that I can just relax and let be what already is, the easier life appears to be.
Relax.
Winds blow into my ears from rustling leaves, relax.
Just relax.
Never forget that you are just passing through, enjoying what is being given to you in each moment.
And when you move with that type of inner relaxation and attention, your presence becomes a gift to those that you interact with.
The path calling me back when the winter feels hard…”relax, spring is coming.”
Spring is indeed coming.
The animals need rest.
