Thinking Positeavely: Embracing the chaos.

I wish I could just close my eyes, fall asleep and then wake up in the calm, peaceful, silent world.

There is such a chaos around. So much noise. Our world is like a stormy sea. So much happiness and suffering. Tornadoes. Volcanoes. Cancer. Stars exploding in the space. Fights over politics and religion. So many different points of view and each is the right one. Everyone knows best and has the last word. Only here and there good, noble people are living in the shadows doing their goodness not noticed by the crowd. Candle flames in the moonless, foggy night. Popular is what is loud and vulgar. What is calm, silent and wise is considered weak, boring, irrational.

I walk though every day feeling all these stormy waves throwing me in all the directions. My thoughts and feeling are all scrambled and messed up.

I know the rules. This is the world and universe we live in. I can’t fight nature of things. I can’t change anything but my own perception. If I will consider world to be wrong and unfair it will be. But is it? Is it all wrong an unfair? I suspect this is just my perception, because I wish things could be different and since they are not then they are.. wrong? Unfair? I get frustrated, angry and sad.

I sit down. Close my eyes. Breath out. Breath in. Focused. I try to be a little bubble of peace in all this chaos. Like a bubble of air in the water slowly floating towards the empty space. I try to not judge things and wish them to be different. At least for a moment I let things be just the way they are. I accept this world.

I find peace in this acceptance.

I hope you will find your own peace somewhere as well.
