From Anxiety and Fear to a New Possibility

Life... at times… appears to squeeze…
There are moments when perhaps we feel as if the walls are closing in
We experience the crushing blow of anxiety and fear
Unsure of the way out…
Experiencing a sense of helplessness
Maybe unsure of why we’re going through this
Efforts seem futile
Unable to calm the mind
Thoughts… racing…
The issues replaying...
Over… and over again…
Faith seems to falter
Life doesn’t seem to make sense
Emotions… running…
Fear…. Overflowing
Getting the best of us...
Feeling like a ship without a rudder
The winds of problems blowing… East to West… North … to South
And all the way around
Wanting to ask for help
Unsure of which door to knock on
Analyzing life…. Just paralyzed
 
Meditating ain’t helping
Even breathing… seems… breathless
 
But then... We surrender…
Thoughts run their course
And a light enters….
Space…
Tranquil…
Giving up the fighting…
Dropping the resisting…
And in that moment… accepting...
Grace
Accepting…
That we are more than our issues…
That those issues are temporary…
That they need not define us…
 
And as we let go…
We break out of our self-imposed prison
We open up... a new... possibility
And just… briefly… we may get a sense that we are limitless
 
Oh yes my friend… We… are… more…
Until the next time…
Be Grounded… in that.
