STAYING IN PRESENCE

In the midst of the worst chaos peace can be found by entering into presence.  Breathing connects me to my body and keeps me centered.  Without this grounding I become uprooted and blown about like tumbleweed, my emotions explode like fireworks igniting into sparks of reactivity.  It becomes difficult to listen or even see what is going on clearly.  I am lost and begin to create even greater turmoil than already exists.
I will remain aware of the road signs that lead to this familiar land of the lost.  Today, I choose to travel a different direction.  I will be mindful of my breathing, listen to my heart, and be reminded of the support that surrounds me.  I will reach out with compassionate presence when needed and set respectful boundaries if required.  One moment at a time.
