The Sweet Embrace of Instability


I'm a man. I seek the able to be stable for a number of primal reasons. But I think I've taken on a bit of Ms Evita Robinson energy. What I mean is there is no one I know that stares down sudden change and volatility like her. Now I the season slides from summer to fall I'm in a familiar spot of upcoming change. This was a summer of great things that went down, but many things should have happened that didn't. I saw my skills at their best and simultaneously I saw them overlooked and under appreciated.

I'm breathing in deep.....just ready for change......on all levels.......

I feel you on all of this, but the above stood out so much more. Gotta keep pushing and I've been watching your friend Evita's drive and passion, very inspiring. With friends like those you'll go far feeding off that energy.

Hell, I don't know her personally, but a few months ago I was tweeting with her and I felt inspired myself. Best wishes on all you aspire to obtain.

The only thing that is constant, is change. The sooner we realize stability is an illusion (and fucking boring for that matter) the better we are.

The key is to get comfortable with the 'groundlessness'. That is a practice I've read and spoken about with monks. Many people I know turn to the Bible.
I turn to Eastern Philosophies. Actually, if you can, cop the book "The Places That Scare You" or anything else by Pema Chodron, just to take a look.
