Came back to the hotel late last night. To say I was ragged & lonely is an understatement. In my desperation for company, I turned on the tube only to be bombarded with some of the worst kinds of news a human being could witness. One tragic story after another. I felt broken. The world seemed broken, & I had a weak moment of seriously wanting to "opt out". Yes, I am talking about suicide. Obviously, I did not take my own life, nor is it my plan. I had to remind myself that I was utterly exhausted & overly sensitive. So, I turned the news off & meditated instead. While in my meditation, I zoomed out from my "little self" to witness all of it from a distance. The "bigger I" could see a tender little bean who needed to go to bed. "I" could see the "broken world" needing a shift in consciousness. My answer to the question of whether I should opt out or not was solid. LEAN IN TO LIFE! I may not be a super hero. I may never be able to "save the world", but I can do my part in simple ways like smiling at strangers, truly listening to others, give hugs, share my gratitude, recycle, use less, & be kind (most especially to myself). So today, for #WisdomWednesday, I vow to do exactly that.
