Center

“To be human and to be adult means constantly to be in the grip of opposing emotions, to have daily to reconcile apparently conflicting tensions.  I want this, but need that.  I cherish this, but I adore its opposite too.”  — Anonymous 

Let this moment be a time to breathe deep and exhale fully.  Bring your belly into the spine on your exhale to empty out the last breath in you and anything stagnant you’ve been holding.  The inhalation that follows may bring you to center, where you can see the wants and needs suspended in a delicate balance around you, separate but linked.  From center, you can appreciate them without being entangled in the tensions.  You may be able to see anything that pulls you away from center as an energetic expenditure over which you have authority.

Have a lovely day!
