Sitting in the Eye of the Storm

Enderts Beach at Dusk, Redwood National Park, by Daniel Ewert

So there’s times when you feel your creative mojo flowin’ and it feels like it’s on like Donkey Kong. It’s those times that I feel most tuned in and connected.

Then there’s times when it feels like there’s a storm brewing within. The ego’s flailing and there’s clouds covering my light. It is in times like these that I simply pull back in and sit still, knowing that any fear-based actions I take will likely create some negative results that I’ll have to undo later. So I simply be still, let go of all resistance, and just allow everything to be as it is.

Looking at the frequency of my posts lately, you can probably guess which state I’m currently experiencing.

Does the sky need to run for cover, when it rains?

(My experience of this I’ve been posting a bit about in the forums.)

There is literally nowhere to run. It is all here. There is only Here.

No matter where you go, there you are.

-Yogi Berra

These turbulent times have repeatedly shown themselves to be precursors to some of my greatest awakenings. At this point, there’s nothing to do but simply sit still and allow everything to be, allowing everything to happen in its own perfect time.

There’s a willingness to die, a willingness to cry, and a willingness to be obliterated.
