"If you go off into the far far forest, and get very quiet,
you'll come to understand that you are connected with everything."
Alan Watts
When we feel that it is a great day, all seems right in our world. On the other hand, if we come face to face with provocation and opposition, the tendency is to feel alone and without power to move forward. Our chosen responses to either day, are exactly that ... chosen.
We have no control over episodes in our life, so our energy is best spent on proper responses. Except, there are times we feel like collapsing into disturbance is easier to get by. Unfortunately, this is not so. If we use our energy to invest in healthy reactions, we can maintain some sense of power.
Our body, mind and spirit can best support us when we avail the self to nurturing. Preferably in nature, we can sit in silence recalling how we successfully overcame obstacles and not dwelling on past mishaps. If we can determine the lesson before us, we can reach out through creative expression, yoga or meditation for strength. In this way, we become aware of our connection with everything.
