Draft Series 5:

STILLNESS AMONGST CHAOS ~

Rethought:

And so you notice. The chaos and the extremity, loud thoughts and nagging mind. A density of overwhelm thickening the air. An influx of energy. An intrusion of space. Clashing the streets of your awareness. A season swirling the world’s rotation to conclude the year that was. Recycling grief. Recycling angst. All pooling into the final quarter. Is it exhaustion or is it relief? To let go of the idea to be more in a time where time is in fact illusive. The expectation of all anticipation begins to heighten within your chest. Anxious grip taking hold of your fragile frame. You are tired. This is valid. You feel unsettled. This is valid. So you fall back into your breathing body. A subtle inhale releasing the exhale as you shift. For as the world continues to pivot, you surrender and trust in it’s unveiling. Clearing path for equanimity. Dust finally starting to settle. Feeling heavy yet feeling held as the ground pulses into heart center. An acknowledgement so simple to alkalize your state. You close your eyes to shift deeper. Noticing beyond blood and beating heart, that this life is a phenomena and you are just the witness. The feedback of your nervous system becomes limpid. The pulse of your veins rich in your palms. A place amongst all activity that is whole — this is the stillness. Beyond ideas. Beyond belief. A place now of complete silence. A privacy so sacred. The purity of your breath, a luxury only to be yours. To notice that you are alive and you are more than ordinary. Experiencing the phenomenon of all that is — stillness amongst the chaos, it is the extraordinary.
