Today’s challenge: stillness.  There are moments when I can feel unhappiness pulling at my subconscious, taunting me with self-doubt or negativity.  In response I tend to smile brighter, chase after projects more enthusiastically, increase the speed and momentum of my day in an effort to out race thoughts or feelings I am unsure of.

This morning, with moments of kindness and love gracing my daily routine, I rejected disharmony as an impostor.  Still, it followed me as I walked my children to school and settled over me like the snow quietly sleeping on the ground.  Irritated by the burden of my companion’s weight I grew angry and challenged this uninvited guest to say their piece.  Silence.

So, today I am going to be still.  I will take my spirit’s light and shine it into the dark corners of my mind and see if there is indeed a truth I have overlooked.  Kindness and Patience will be my friends in stillness.
