One Apple A Day #633 - waves
This morning I've been reminded of the disruptive power of emotions. Usually, I'm quite good at protecting this private space of reflections and writing. When I sit down to seek inspirations, I let everything that is running in my mind to wander free so that peace can emerge.
But this morning is different. Yesterday, I became aware of something that struck a nerve. I'm not even sure why, to be honest, but this is another path to explore. The point is that I woke up with these emotions flowing in my system. No matter how hard I try, I can't get over them, and I can't keep them away from this space of reflections. They keep coming back and engender thoughts that fill up this space.
No doubts that they are telling me something.
But even more than that, they remind me of the significant role that emotions play in our lives. When an emotion surges, it is like a wave washing out everything in its way. Trying to resist can be exhausting. For sure, it has been for me this morning until I decided to ride that wave. And when I stopped resisting, when I gave up the idea of controlling it, peace came. And with it the words for this post.
