Fog Between Perspectives

"Between memory and reality

there are awkward

discrepancies."

Eileen Chang

The initial thinking about freeing the mind is that one will walk in harmony with all things.  Peace is created, but in between the moments of stillness, there is work to be done.  Our route towards inner calm becomes foggy on many occasions.  We find ourselves caught between perspectives, as we attempt to define truth.  As we dismantle distorted thinking, there is a lapse in time, a pause, where we perhaps feel even more confused than we began our journey.  

Yet, this is true in all acts of restoration.  Whether we are cleaning out a desk drawer, or a hall way closet, we create a bigger mess in the process of sorting out what no longer is needed.  On our way to peaceful thinking, we let go of our past.  We are called to create a new lens to view old enemies, harsh judgements, and painful events.  We can view scenarios to observe the lesson they played rather than who was right or wrong.  

If we continue to step through painful pauses, we will gain momentum in freeing our mind and healing  our heart.  When we no longer keep an emotional score, our energy becomes invested in freeing our minds to live in peace.  To create harmony within ourselves allows us to move forward in bringing peace to our world.
