There's stillness in the unlikeliest of places. In the past two nights, I've gone to a classic rock show and a dance club and both times I was actually able to stay rooted inside while dancing and listening to the blasting music. Granted, I did not drink nor did I want to. But I was able to have a good time without the external stimuli. The loudness that used to bother me was nothing but ripples on the surface to the depth within.
Not having gone to a dance club in a long time, I witnessed a vast difference in my inner world. Things that are happening out there are becoming less and less tangible. Living from the inside out is not so much an idea any more, but reality.
The Practice
Morning meditation - 30 minutes
Reflection
I share these selected experiences in the blog and they feel so out of place with the way the day actually progresses; yet, they fit right in. I allow myself to be led more. I don't know if I'm allowing or I'm just being led; whichever the case, I'm sensing the difference between "have to do" and just doing. For instance, I came online thinking I was going to write in "Creating Me" blog first because I haven't written in that one in a while. I wasn't going to write in "Breathing Through It" until tomorrow. As I sat staring at the "New Post" page, my fingers clicked on the other button for this blog, typed Day 38, and the writing flowed.
Who is doing it? I might have an idea about something, but the rest of me has a mind of its own.
