The stillness passes so quickly. That’s why we have to be grateful for it when it comes. I have spent far too much time being angry about its passing. Rather than celebrating it while it’s here.
How absurd to think that right now I’d be able to have the kind of stillness that lasts. And equally how absurd not to enjoy the noise of my life – children playing, babies crying, lives growing and developing. I’m trying to find a way to get this to sink in.
Maybe right now it’s hard. But it won’t always be. But maybe also right now it’s amazing and I’m letting it slip away by being impatient and angry. I want to embrace these challenges rather than be upset by them. This is my chosen life. These are the people that I love that need me.
Be here. Be still when stillness comes. And flow with the moments when they change. That’s life after all.
