130/365 – Where the Center Is.
I talk about the center as the place we need in order to be.
We can move around and live in uncertainty, but especially if we want to create anything we need to find a center.
See it as a tree: a tree goes though every season, from cold to warm, from windy to dry, and never collapses (well, it does, but everything has its cycle!). A tree is able to stay there, to adapt to the conditions, to find a center that will allow a balance between its branches and leaves. A tree has a center that allows this balance of elements and it doesn’t matter what the season, the weather or the conditions are, the tree will be there.
I look for my center constantly through many practices and I look for it intentionally, all the time. I need to feel that the center is there before seriously initiating anything. I need the center of myself to be at least balanced and tell me where to go. That way, I know I’m listening to the real self that wants to express itself, and that’s all I need sometimes.
