Weather

I'm acquainting myself with the idea of looking at my feelings and sensations as a kind of weather. These sensations pass over you, for whatever reasons - worry, discomfort, irritation they come and go. I've long known that these have no meaning, that the quicker I let them go, the more in the moment I am. I like the idea of regarding them rather like weather - something that clouds over and stops the warm energy from getting through. You could take the analogy further, without rain, nothing would grow. The things that effect us are part of existence, the rain might not feel nice at the time, but the flowers and the food grows. When there's a storm, hunker down and wait for it to pass, don't fight it or take it personally.
