I have been really touched by the wisdom of the I Ching. It is powerfully basic and a truth that you just cannot deny no matter how much you want to angle your excuses! So my last I Ching session, I came across the concept of taking small steps while the storm rages and gets what it needs to get done for calm to come back. This was so interesting as it spoke to what I posted a few days earlier around "Quickies". Such a similar sentiment and just goes to show where my vibration was that attracted this deeper answer to explore. So there is something for me to work with with small steps rather than ambitious ones! Fun Fun!
Anyhoo, the big message I would like to share is the following. The stormy seas are going to be a reality in your life. But the calm smooth seas will also be a reality. And as with everything in life, they are temporary arrangements and must change. But while you stuck in the stormy seas and the waves and chaos are around, it is knowing how you hold onto your life boat, that object that will always float no matter how bad the storm gets. And as you clutch on tight to that life boat / object that floats no matter what. You let God / The Universe calm the storm. That is soooo powerful for me. The concept that my job is to hold onto the object that will always float and let God calm the stormy seas. When it is calm, you continue to move to where you need to be.
So this is just a reminder that the small steps make a difference and they have their place. While the bigger storm of your life moves to calming down, it is the little steps that make you strong and allow you to rise and be who you need to be when the dust settles. Yay!
Your post made me all teary eyed, thinking about where I was in my life this time last year (the Perfect Storm, as it were) vs. now (a quiet cove).
