“To be grounded is to know what holds us and tying ourselves to that, as we move and sway to the winds of change.”
Being still in this era of troubles can feel like a slight of hand effort, made available to only those in the know, those already grounded, tethered as a string to a floating balloon. We all have our moments of feeling ungrounded, loss of control of what we never really had control of, life and living. To ground oneself is perhaps an effort of editing, cutting away the unnecessary noise of sound and clutter, the demands of self and others. To be grounded is to know what holds us and tying ourselves to that, as we move and sway to the winds of change.
“How we live is not solely contingent on our surroundings, but merely softened, grounded, as a place to land, a place to dream, cradled in just, being.”
When I lost my mother many years ago, it felt as if there was no one left to love me, what I find now is that it’s me, I am the one, the one to ground me, though often I feel untethered still, building the ground beneath me. How one thinks in the mind and moves in their lives is paramount to living a fulfilled life, this is my lesson, my ongoing learning. How we live is not solely contingent on our surroundings, but merely softened, grounded, as a place to land, a place to dream, cradled in just, being.
“How we live is an extension and intention of our minds, the bridges and paths we build.”
To be ensconced by what we deem beautiful, what we love and who we love is to be buffered and shielded, like wearing layers of down coats in Winter, life vests in water and shrouded in sound proofing layers. We are rarely two beats away from distration, rarely silent in the mind, nor body. How we live is an extension and intention of our minds, the bridges and paths we build.
“To know oneself and to know beauty is to be truly content, in a world that constantly seeks”
Creativity in all its manifestations inspires and informs, speaks to the intuitive self, allowing us to see and be who we truly are. To know oneself and to know beauty is to be truly content, in a world that constantly seeks
