Life itself is a labyrinth of challenge, choice and Openings.
These times are unsettling, polarizing, intense, confining and confounding. What am I to do with all this? I feel I am standing on shifting, unsafe ground. How can I call this a fascinating time?
The landscape of my life is unrecognizable. This is disorienting. So much has changed. It is imperative that I find my way, as my life continues on. Which direction do I go in when I do not know the territory? How do I begin?
I am weary of lockdowns, masks, isolation and virus fears. Enough of all this! A part of me is ready to return (happily) to what was before. Although I am ready, there is so much uncertainty that I cannot see a way to do it. And, there are factors that could make it dangerous to try.
In times past, I have found myself reeling from the cacophony of life. When that would happen, I learned to seek stillness. This time of lockdown gives me stillness in my everyday life. Within the stillness lie opportunities for me. Can I rise to them?
I am going about my daily life. Circumstances that once were fine become unpalatable. The world around and within me has changed. It is disconcerting and I am not sure what to do. I can look at this shift as an Opening. Then what do I do?
