Puzzle Peace

Today, I am puzzled.  

My daughter stands crying - crying because she started crying and can't remember why.

My husband stands ready to go, anxious to start our journey today, our list of to-do's that are governed by the clock.

And I?

Off balance, I am trying to remember my peace in it all.

  1. I can SO feel you- this feels like my every day. And it's just overwhelming. I'm trying so very hard to remember I can work around it, I can find my own peace in it all. Sometimes it just feels like I get consumed by the chaos of it all despite the fact I am trying so hard to be still in the middle. I am starting to wonder if it might be worth it to let go a little and go *with* it all, sort of like swimming in rip tide- it's best to just gently swim with the tide until you can pull yourself back to shore.

  2. tree pose for today?

    And just noticed your self-designation as "awareness-provoker". That's nicer than the way I say basically the same thing about myself. I may borrow that.

  4. Those days can be so disconcerting. I have felt that way and not understood why. The best thing to do is take a deep breath and just try to be. :) xoxo Theresa
