Sometimes when I feel rough patches in my life, I look to any source of water and remind myself that I can either fight the current, flow with it, or witness it from above. There is no wrong way to live life, there are only ways that make life harder or easier to enjoy. I witness when I am mindful and reflective. I flow when I move with ease through the motions. I fight when I feel the currents are rough and taking me in a harmful direction. Today I witnessed and flowed. I cannot see what any moment truly has in store for me outside of this current one. Now is real, now is eternal, now is important. In this moment, there is nothing in my immediate surroundings causing harm. In this moment I can hold space for all emotions. In this moment, I can focus on the cold weather and the night sky. In this moment I can witness my experience of the human condition.
