I was accused of being calm and thoughtful the other day and I had to look around to see who she was talking about. I don’t see myself as using “calm thoughtful reflection.” I feel jumpy and scared like a little rabbit one minute, then sour and pouty the next. I do feel like I’m in a neutral zone between passionate waves. I guess the last wave lasted a while, but since I am an adrenalin junkie, I have trouble sitting in the trough of the wave.
Sanctifying the space is such a universal spiritual truth. In fact I heard that nirvana lies between the breaths someplace. I do know that to slow my breath at every stage is a tool that always works for me. Why don’t I do it more often? Only God knows, and She ain’t telling right now.
So maybe just holding that thought today–just enjoy long slow deep easy breathing. Ok, let’s try that.
