Is it letting go or learning how to mediate the hard and the soft?
I think of how the monks touched so many lives with their walking.
Peace sits tightly wrapped up with turmoil in my chest,
thinking of the contradictions contained in today's world.
I do know that when my mind is full of turmoil,
one of the best things I can do is walk...walk off the imbalance.
Turmoil ceases to tip the scale...a sense of steadiness returns.
And if you can't walk; dance, vacuum, weed the garden,
paint something, cook something.... whatever centers you,
It's not so much letting go; more like accepting the hard realities;
acknowledging the contradictions...
and interceding for the side of dignity and decency.
Shifting your focus from the travails
to the marvel of being here in your miraculous body,
on this astonishing planet, in the midst of this incredible universe.
Namaste
