Extract 25 From What Changes
It is amazing how the mind and emotions can take us on a journey
In a few moving deeply into some doubt
Or insecurity, vulnerability
Or overwhelmed, weak, inner crumbling
Feel it fully
Why not?
This is reality
And then, when the feelings are still strong
This sense of nothing moving
Nothing has moved
Nothing changed
All as it was
Everything returning to balance
There’s nothing wrong with these thoughts and feelings
It just means we’re human!
But the difference is, not lingering
Not staying there, or not choosing to stay there
Even if those difficult feelings remain
It’s accepting, but also more than that
Maybe it’s trust?
A trust that isn’t shaken
Despite what is passing through us
It’s the same with feelings of elation
It passes through
And we return to balance
Nothing moved
Nothing changed
The rootedness is deeper than this
Is unmoved
Fully experiencing it all
But also….just watching
Knowing there is a deeper truth
A more grounded place
From where it is possible to feel the fullness of human life
Yet also……just watching
There is a lightness
And at the same time a deep connectedness
Our spirit is light
Our body is connected
The beauty is in the balance of the two
Each of us is this
The seen and the unseen
The movement, the involvement
And that which watches
One is not real and the other unreal
Both are real
But only when they come together is there the understanding of that
It’s not that one is active and the other passive
They belong together, when we are active and also when we are passive
And everywhere in between
We are both spirit and material
And they were never separate
