Zen
I made a comment to someone about my life being fulfilling in spite of the drama that is all around me, and I got a sudden blast of insight.
Because of the choices I make each day, the drama I am currently experiencing in various aspects of life is around me, not within me. Not generated by me. Not nurtured by me. It rolls around outside of me, like a storm battering the outside of a building. But inside the building, which is well-maintained, things are warm and dry and safe and secure. I can look out and be concerned, but I remain safe.
I am going to set aside my feelings of anxiety for a while, accept what I cannot change, appreciate what I have done to make sure I am safe, and touch base with that calmness inside the well-maintained building.
