When the Bubble Bursts
Active mind seeks answers,
quiet mind embraces silence.
Beneath both, thoughts
float like bubbles.
Iridescence rises for a moment,
then bursts,
leaving nothing in its wake
but open space.
by Danna Faulds from and anthology called Root to Bloom
I love how these words create shining images of bubbles floating. There’s a sense of how delicate they are and how they can so easily burst.
… Yet we give our thoughts so much power.
May your thoughts today float and burst with ease, so that you can experience the spaciousness and stillness in their wake.
Aahhh … now that feels better 😉
Love this!

I love the metaphor Val. I also love the idea of knowing more than the thoughts, balancing our feelings as well. The third leg of that easel is our wants … they are important too as they will move us to action … best to know them so we can manage where we are going!! 🙂
