Stillness

I’ve been deep in presence, today. It’s the loveliest feeling of stillness. The beautiful light that sits quietly in my body, a light I don’t always have the privilege of feeling, simply because I am human. Being ’embodied’ I think people call it. I just call it…life.

I’ve been reflecting, today, on the stories of the mind. How deeply they go, so deep we don’t recognise them as stories we can either choose to embrace or dismiss.

We are tangled, because of our stories. Beautiful chaos. Beautiful because often the chaos ends in a sort of quiet moment of understanding. A lesson that you couldn’t quite see in the midst of the chaos, that eventually works its way to some sort of peaceful conclusion.

Life. My goodness. What it is to be human is truly something magical.
