Reflection: Have faith in the wind that carries you

Our crucial task when in pain or despair is not to let the negative feelings spill into everything, so that we stay in our sense of the world. Yet we must also take care of our feelings so they don’t fester and infect our sense of ourselves. Somewhere between the extremes awaits the life of healthy expression, not personalizing everything and not filling the world with our troubles.

Our inner work is often most demanding when we are sad and afraid, for we can so easily be overwhelmed by the power of these emotions that we can start to believe things are not possible and our souls diminish. We stop feeling the truth of what is genuine and start losing touch with the great wind of life.

Somehow life has a way of carrying us along whether we are aware of it or not. The wind carries both the agitated heart and the peaceful one into tomorrow. We must have faith in the wind that carries us, to restore our connection to the powerful currents of life.
