cedar_groveFrom The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have.
...this nameless voice tells us that at the heart of all struggle there is a peaceful enduring centre, if we can only reach it.
It is the reaching of it that is the both the challenge and the surrender. Right now I feel like I'm walking into the winds of the storm. Everything around me is twisting and blowing, very little feels stable, secure. I question whether this is just another ripple from the re initiation... the way things become unsettled afterwards... universe settling into a new pattern - change.
But there are so many things I don't know. Too much that I don't understand... and it's all flying around me like leaves in a storm, and it's frightening. I need to find the centre and turn to face the questions, even those that have no answers.
Guess I should just be more accepting.
All tempest has,
like a navel,
a hole in its middle,
through which
a gull can fly,
in silence.
--Fourteenth-century Japanese, Anonymous
