Interesting how long it takes us to learn. That
one vital facet of anxiety, insomnia, irritability , addiction , depression,
uncertainty, the ache of grief or loneliness ...is the inborn necessity to
learn how to sit with what is.
To learn the gift that awaits our increasing ability to notice how we are feeling, be with it, and shepherd it on by.
We run so hard with all kinds of distraction just to avoid, at any cost , discovering. Feeling. And learning to let breeze by all kinds of truly difficult things.
The paradox is how much ease we experience when we begin to live this way.
And , in actuality, the big great surprise becomes how finite the mounds of distressing memories, feelings and experiences actually are.
We do this for a few years, and it all settles down to a trickle.
Life undulates with an ebb and flow of peace , ease, and the great capacity to greet a difficult thought or feeling or memory, be with it, and watch it as it inevitably passes in by.
