It’s That Time

I AM BLIND
When my world seems too much for me to take, and everything whirls around in a hurricane. Things I fancy in my control slip from my grasp. I am unable to make sense of or find solutions to dilemas. In most cases I create these issues, just to have something to solve. In my desire to be important or needed, I create a monster that no one wants around, not even myself. I begin to complain about my life, and ask others how to solve the problems. I talk too much of my downfalls and inability to control all that is swimming around. My mind races and I am no longer my true self.
I CAN SEE
The world is not spinning around me, I am spinning around it. I am busily fluttering over everything I consider “my domain” and I am telling myself that this is all something I should be taking care of.
This happens once or twice a year. I know its time to refocus my attention on others. I have lost my way from peace and comfort. I do not like this state I have put myself in.
So I will be quiet, I will observe more and listen intently without judgment or the desire to repair. I am a healer to those who seek healing, when times are slow I shall not create something or someone to heal.
Be in peace.
Some quotes and how they helped :
Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
(I bring myself peace by shutting my mouth and opening my heart to others)
He that would live in peace and at ease must not speak all he knows or all he sees.
Benjamin Franklin
(Obvious isn’t it)
If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.
Mother Teresa
(I am at peace in you)
It isn’t enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to believe in it. One must work at it.
Eleanor Roosevelt
(Being quiet is work for me. It is work I know well to bring me joy, it is worth more than gold)
