Inspiration for Turbulent Times

Here in the northern hemisphere we are experiencing some turbulent Winter to Spring weather! Nature is finding her way forward and the energy feels quite intense. Some of you may also be experiencing this intensity inside you too. After all, the external often reflects the internal, and vice versa. This poem is for those of you in turbulent times.

The answer lies in the title.

ALLOW

There is no controlling life.
Try corralling a lightening bolt,
containing a tornado. Dam a
stream, and it will create a new
channel. Resist, and the tide
will sweep you off your feet.
allow, and grace will carry
you to higher ground. The only
safety lies in letting it all in - 
the wild with the weak; fear,
fantasies, failures and success.
When loss rips off the doors of 
the heart, or sadness veils your
vision with despair, practice
becomes simply bearing the truth.
In the choice of letting go of your
known way of being, the whole
world is revealed to your new eyes.

~ Danna Faulds from “Go In and In”

Practice becomes simply bearing the truth … and that is enough.
