“Let it be OK”, I think as waves of thoughts alight upon the shore of my conscious mind and as they do so I gently let them ebb like the summer tide, preferring the quieter waters of the rock pool that remain calm in all but the most extreme circumstances.
So it is in my life that I now choose calm over turmoil and drama and, in so doing, the dangers subside and I am free to enjoy each moment. As I let go of thoughts, lingering fears and doubt, peace is restored and I am unburdened once again.
How I wish I could have learned this in youth when, plagued by doubts and lack of self esteem, my busy mind raced and usually found rough seas and almost never found the haven of that sacred rock pool.
Buoyed by my ability to seek refuge at the drop of a hat, I have access to inner peace for the asking, without the need even for meditation often, nor for external relaxants such as alcohol: it is there, on demand, time after time.
This is how I always dreamed life could be - dreamed perhaps but I never really believed it could become reality. Life is such a wonderful Pandora’s Box of experiences in which even the bad moments contribute to your ultimate overall good.
I am blessed indeed!
