Seasons

Mood these days.

It’s uncanny how life’s seasons work, with its characteristic peaks and valleys. In February and March I was consumed with an energy to build build build. I shedded some of the anxeity I’d been unconsciously carrying and charged ahead. Yet very soon after that epiphany, work happened, life happened, and challenges happened. When April started, things started to dip every so slowly but noticeably, till now – the slump. The build energy all but faded. The excitement and sense of adventure of starting anew, gone. I wrote about how these are the hardest days, yet a part of me knows…

This too, shall pass.

It had always done so. It always does. It always will. Just as the sun rise and set. Just as the seasons come and go. The seasons of life, the summers and winters of the inner world, arise and fade. Knowing that, makes it easy to not celebrate too soon or worry too much, today. Maybe there’s no need to jump in to set things right, since time itself will fix most of it. Maybe there’s no need to hold on too tight to our wins, when time itself will loosen them.

All shall be in place, in time.

This too, shall pass indeed!

I’ve been trying a “somatic” approach to some of the most overwhelming emotions that rise up within me:
standing, closing my eyes, putting my hands over my heart, and speaking to those negative emotions, “I face you. I recognize you. I permit you to pass through me and over me.”

You got this man! We believe in you 💪
