Calm In The Midst Of Chaos

"You can be your own constant

amongst the chaos."

Akiroq Brost

We have an obligation to be present in the moment, but this does not mean we have to be active or participate in what is unfolding around us.  Eckhart Tolle comes to my mind whenever I am faced with unnecessary drama.  I can hear him saying, "Oh, I see." That's it, he doesn't engage.

In a sense, when we decide not to engage in drama or chaos, it falls away.  The person may continue on quite dramatically, but when they do not receive our energy in return, they eventually change the subject or become quiet.

It is said the only constant in life is change and change stimulates chaos.  We can minimize the chaos in our present moment if we make the choice to unplug placing our attention elsewhere.  We simply adjust our focus upon an affirmation, prayer or the beauty surrounding us.  In this way, we become our constant calm in the midst of chaos.
