Let Them Riot

Never underestimate the power of deliberately slowing down. Settling. Allowing an outward physical posture to align with an inner silence and stillness. 

Yes, thoughts and emotions might run riot. 

Let them. 

Let the gale winds shriek, let the lightning split the air, let the rains lash and thunder. Let the molten earth boil and erupt. 

Let them do as they will. You cannot stop them. 

You can push them down but they will continue to rage beneath the surface. 

You cannot stop them. But you are here.

You are the one in whom the storms storm.

You are the one aware of thoughts, sensations, perceptions, emotions. You are the one aware of air, fire, earth and water and the micro and macrocosmic play of the elements.

When you let them play to the fullest without engaging or manipulating or trying to suppress them or stop them in any way.

When you let them flow and be.

You notice.

You notice that when the the waves subside, the flames die down and the skies clear, you are still here. 

You are still here.

You are simply here.

You are always here.
