Time and again I was seeing that if I could handle the winds of the current storm, they would end up blowing in some great gift … Challenging situations create the force needed to bring about change. The problem is that we generally use all the stirred up energy intended to bring about change, to resist change. I was learning to sit quietly in the midst of the howling winds and wait to see what constructing action was being asked of me.

That’s a switch. A good one, I think.

Smiling. I think of Surrender = Let Go. “Give Up” has connotation of quitting. :))) And I do like “lift off” – love that. Thanks Valerie.

I’m scrolling backwards again through your posts and wondering *again* why I don’t allow myself this daily gift. I read and see and listen while my heart fills my throat and tears roll. I have this little chance to let light in every day, a moment of connection and recognition, a pause in the head-noise. What else could possibly be more important?
