feeling it...

So, i thought about writing a post the other day (but, obviously i didn't =).  On that day, i was anxious about the future again.  But i've been reading Everything Belongs by Richard Rohr and it's been awesome!!  Especially the section i read the other day.  I don't even really remember what it's about, but it just seemed to resonate with me at exactly where i am in my spiritual/personal journey.

The gist?  The key is finding balance...holding onto contradictions and tension.  And allowing ourselves to feel--to really feel.  And not to judge that feeling.  So, i was anxious the other day, and i was actually allowing myself to feel it, and not to judge it, or quell it.  It's hard, but it seems to be right--and real.

We are here, on the earth, now--we aren't anywhere else.  We need to be here and allow what is here to be--and ourselves to just be.  I'm still working on that, and still learning what that really means in life and how it works in life.  I know it's more than "just being" but that's the first step.
