I Am Not To Worry

“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.”
(Lao Tzu)

 

It is so easy
To get away from tenderness
Getting busy and hungry
Losing myself in accomplishing
Yet, without fail
I notice the lack of calm
The heaviness that arises
When I am out of my center
It is clear now
That I am not to worry
As Life will always show me
That it is time to go back in
To find my true strength
I know this is no race
And the door will never be closed
It is clear now
That I am not to worry
As a flower
I naturally know
When to open
And when to close

Out Of The Fog

When The Fog Lifts

When the fog lifts

The veils of darkness

Clarity arises

A necessary rhythm

From dark to light

From light to dark

We go on expanding

Fulfilling our destinies

Dancing in between

Periods of clarity

And periods of fog

But when the fog lifts

We find ourselves once again

In the hands of God

– Méia

Showers


Oh, showers… A time of reflection, cleaning up and clearing up.  

Showers increase alertness and calm the mind, allowing for deeper intuition and connectedness, which in turn tunes us to greater thinking and the birth of new ideas.   With a clearer focus, it is easier to make decisions and feel the creative energy flow. 

But…

“Every one who has taken a shower has had an idea. It’s the person who gets out of the shower, dries off and does something about it that makes a difference.” ― Nolan Bushnell

Empty Hands

And the decluttering mindset strikes again…

“You can’t reach for anything new if your hands are still full of yesterday’s junk.” – Louise Smith

Sometimes all you really need is… empty hands. Empty mind. Space! 

Think about it… 

“Thirty spokes unite around one hub to make a wheel.

 It is the presence of the empty space that gives the function of a vehicle. 

Clay is molded into a vessel. 

It is the empty space that gives the function of a vessel. 

Doors and windows are chisel out to make a room. 

It is the empty space in the room that gives its function. 

Therefore, something substantial can be beneficial. 

While the emptiness of void is what can be utilized.”

Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching, Chapter 11
