The Calm Inside the Storm

I have a very "settled" feeling today that I can't quite describe. It's a combination of self-awareness, mindfulness, a sense of inner security, and confidence. I "feel" the confidence to be relaxed, present, and a part of the flow of everything. All the puzzle pieces are fitting today. It feels "cozy" if that can be the word for it. Everything is vivid and intensely "now." 

It seems when I shut out the chaos of the outside is when I feel this way most. Even though I love them very much and we're all very close, in moments like these I don't want my friends around me. They will contaminate the moment with their lack of understanding or willingness to try and understand. People always try to sully what they don't understand. 

I'm incredibly secure and self-aware in this state. Everything is harmonious and "as it should be." While I can't know what the path ahead is, I can feel it and I know I'm on it to the degree I should be. It's another strange sensation that's hard to put into words. 

It's the calm inside the storm of the world around me. Shutting out the chaos and living in my internal harmony. It's welcoming, powerful, and snug.

New Age Music and the Cosmic Sparrows

I was sitting in my car this morning waiting for the gym to open and listening to a Sirius station called “Spa.” It’s all New Age music and I find it very relaxing and mentally calming. As one song was playing this flock of sparrows flew right toward the windshield and split off almost in time to the music’s crescendo.

It was one of those “larger cosmic” moments that would slip right by a person if they weren't aware enough to pay attention to such things.
