Letting it go....
My thoughts race randomly through my mind….
what about that printer I gave away,
why are people so crazy when it comes to getting close to rough seas….
do I need to go shopping today….
I need to clear the car out….
when will winter end…
why did I say that,
why did I send that,
why did I post that….
?????
All this in fifteen minutes of meditation,
all this as I drag my mind back to my breathing
and attempt to be in the moment…
+
As I enter the day,
coming out of meditation the thoughts follow me
swirling around, sometimes challenging, sometimes condemning,
sometimes just crazy….
I hate the news….
How long is a piece of string?
Shall I make a pizza?
Should I sort my socks?
I ought to read…..
I need to loose weight…
If only I hadn’t done that….
+
I am trying to let go,
trying to show myself the same compassion as I would show others….
as I would want them to show me….
+
It’s hard to live a life of acceptance,
accepting that I cannot change the past,
accepting that there is little I can do to influence the future,
accepting that this moment is the moment to simply be….
+
Perhaps the answer lies deeper,
deeper than the churning surface waves,
deep where silence welcomes
and calls me to be still….
deep where I am held,
where I am known,
where I am loved….
deep….
an invitation whispers….
even deep within my soul….
if I pause I feel a stirring….
breathe, breathe, breathe….
enter the unforced rhythms of grace….
breathe…..
let go, let go….
let love win!
