one-hundred-and-fifty-five: worries

Sometimes I catch myself future forwarding and it causes me great worry and anxiety. There is no point in investing in the future, the only time we have is now for tomorrow is not a guarantee. Why waste your time, emotion and energy on uncertainty. Meditation helps calm the mind.

eighty-four: dear

last night i found a letter my father had written to me for the future that he wrote 5 years ago it was touching and contained so much insight. in the past i have also written letters to myself in the future from the past. although it takes time as a central weight, it is lovely to look back into the past at times, just for a brief moment, not to linger… insight

fifty-eight: dread

sometimes you may be dreading something in the future but what you must realise is you must live in the present and deal with it in order for the dread to disappear.

forty-nine: freefall

We’re in a freefall into future. We don’t know where we’re going. Things are changing so fast, and always when you’re going through a long tunnel, anxiety comes along. And all you have to do to transform your hell into a paradise is to turn your fall into a voluntary act. It’s a very interesting shift of perspective and that’s all it is… joyful participation in the sorrows and everything changes. – Joseph Campbell, Sukhavati

twenty-eight: mirror

mirrors are fascinating objects, showing a reflection of whom you are, to see yourself physically. the idea of mirroring is also symmetrically, and often the truth. from what i have experienced and found is that the people around us can be mirrors of ourselves, or in a certain aspect reflect elements of us within them – universal things: emotions; feelings; pain, love, joy, happiness, sadness… yesterday i was caught in a mirror moment, a moment of truth. I was advising a friend on their absent partner and they were making up so many excuses for them i found myself having a bitter taste in my mouth, my blood was boiling, they could feel my shifting negative energy, i caught myself in her, a mirror for it was what i was doing to someone else, making so many excuses for them when really there were too many moments. catching yourself in the mirror or elements in another person can be scary but what we can gain is great insight, a bird’s eye holistic view of what is going on. it is said the greatest relationship is with a mirror of yourself, essentially yourself but there is belief of twin flames whom are the other half of your soul, your mirror, an thus an awakening begins. mirrors can also prompt analysis, reflection of physicality and mind. sometimes i look in the mirror and think is that really me? sometimes i get so caught up in my mind i forget my physical and the mirror acts as a gateway to reconnect those spheres of myself. mirrors also enable one to see what’s behind, sometimes a glimpse into the past… present … future … have you caught yourself in a mirror lately?
