Only when we can still the river of the world and the river in our face do things become extraordinary and clear.
This is true, physically, spiritually and emotionally. Last week, for me, was one of rush, rush, rush… so much so that I didn't have time to see anything. The river of the world was passing me by – the river in my face was literally that – IN my face… and as a result nothing was clear, and everything extraordinary held no charm for me.
Even my dreams were confused and unclear – unpleasant without being actual nightmares, which I woke from feeling unsettled and not quite with it. So when I got home on Friday, it was no wonder I just kind of crashed out. Not that I rested, nope – more crazy unsettling dreams.
I'm truly hoping this week will be better – but so far it isn't shaping up to be that way.
I have no power of miracle
other than the attainment of quiet happiness, I have no tact except the exercise of gentleness.
--Oracle of Sumiyoshi
