Sometimes we feel like we are holding on for dear life…
… pitted against strong winds, seemingly bent on destruction, trying to knock us over and blow us away, oblivious to our circumstances, displaying a kind of contempt for the restful lull which had given us a moment to pause and rest.
As difficult as it is to embrace the wind, try instead to flow WITH it, keeping a subtle anchor of positive energy, wrapped around you feet and ankles, as well as a portable wind break of gratefulness to buffet the unexpected updrafts. We have access to these tools by centering the mind and heart through daily meditation and prayer, which offer us consolation even against nature’s worst. Be Strong and Courageous… Joshua 1:9
