At
such time she drops her work and allows an unspoken spaciousness to
engulf her.
It could be for a moment or an hour.
She is learning to relish without guilt those undemanding moments when everything falls away.
She's been a compulsive doer, and has gauged her
usefulness from her productivity and busy-ness.
She's learning to be use-less now, at least for short stretches of time. Initially it was almost an act of rebellion, but now her insides are settling down and her gaze is changing.
It is losing its sharpness, because in a soft all encompassing seeing she's holding more than a tug of pain of a tribe far away.
She can see the broken-ness in everything. Just by being
peaceful, reflective, soft in those moments when they come, she is
becoming the space for the re-arrangement and the re-calibration of her
world.
She is turning the wheel in calm, easy simple ways.
That's how it's going to work now.
Can you see with your mystic eye how everything is relaxing into her relaxation?
