The Vortex
19. June 2006
I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on the ways of human existence. This being particularly prompted by my life entering a new phase of uncertainty with the completion of a run of yacht projects and no definite answer as to what comes next. This coupled by many other customer and subcontractor variables beyond my control or apparent influence.
At such times it is easy to tie yourself in rational knots attempting to plot, plan and guess at different possible positive or negative outcomes for the future, i.e. get stressed over the “what ifs’”. This creates a swirl of energy, your mind races, your intuitive feelings become numbed as you disconnect from the greater wiser you in a vane attempt to mentally solve the problem of your unknown future until finally, hopefully, you let go and surrender to the unknown.
And with that you swirl down into the vortex of your illusionary fears only to surface quietly, peacefully at the edge of the pool. It was a fun ride in hindsight, revealing further fresh and intriguing workings of your psyche but isn’t it worth remembering that?
The heart asks no questions.
The mind has no answers.
Feel the peace, see the beauty in the storm- it is a choice, this too shall pass.
