Recently I had to sort out something between my doctor, insurance company and pharmacy. Not fun. I realized that the root of my frustration and anxiety was about feeling powerless.
While waiting for replies from them, this piece, Returning to Center, came to me. It reminds me that regardless of how it looks, I am Source. When I remember I am Source, my energy shifts and the external world shifts, too.
Instead of continuing to try to strong-arm things into place (yes, I am good at that :), I decided to leave it alone until the next morning. By 9:30 am, they had worked it out themselves.
To returning to Center, again and again . . .
Returning to Center
Off balance.
Out of sorts.
Beside myself.
Ah, to be human.
Remembering.
Center.
Returning to Center.
Ah, to be Divine.
Disconnected.
Defending.
Feeling separate.
Out of control.
Connected.
Clear.
Open.
Returning to Center.
Messy misery.
Miraculous Center.
Ah, to be Divinely human.
Returning to Center.
Again and again.
Again and again.
No judgment.
Returning to Center.
All.
One.
Center.
Returning to Center.
