    Today's Thought - Wednesday

    Today's thought is:

    Being on the tightrope is living; everything else is waiting.
    --Karl Wallenda

    In walking a tightrope, a person has to learn to relax while going forward in a situation filled with risk. If he is tense and keeps his body rigid, he will lose his balance and fall. But if he stays relaxed and keeps his muscles loose while remaining very focused, he can continuously respond and readjust his balance while walking. Then he will experience the exhilaration of success. This is a perfect metaphor for life itself, for growing in an intimate relationship and for growing in recovery.

    Life itself is a risk. When we hold on too tight, remain too guarded, and anxiously try to control every factor, we become stiff and reactive rather than calm, focused, and responsive. The guidance of this path teaches us to let go of our anxieties and leads us to peace of mind. When we learn to do that, we can deftly walk our path and more effectively maintain our balance in dealing with whatever comes up.

    Today I will calm myself while walking on my path.

    Hummmm..... reminds me of fly fishing in a trout stream. I fall down more when I am nervous about the current and depth of the water. I do better when I relax. Funny though, I have to concentrate on relaxing. Perhaps I need to do it more. Did you go back to bed Noelle? :H

      Yesterday I didn't, but today I did. If the phone hadn't rung at 10:30, I'd probably still be asleep!
