Perhaps today hasn't been a great day for you. That can happen. It may have even been terrible. That can happen too.
For just a moment, think of the weather. There will be a calm day, a windy day, a horrific stormy day, a rainy day, and then another calm day. As children of this planet we are like the weather. Our lives have highs and lows, and days in the middle where we are calm and can revel in that feeling. Days where the calm that surrounds us feels impenetrable. Calmness can go on forever until calmness is our normal and we don't understand why everyone else is so stressed out.
But then the day comes when a calamity hits and we think, oh yes, I remember this now; or, this problem doesn't just happen to other people, of course it happens to me also. Tragedy. Sadness. We look back at our calmness as something from another world. From another's life, certainly not from ours.
The weather. Cycles. Patterns. Expansion. Contraction. If we learn to see the patterns it helps us through the difficult times. Our crying is more spontaneous and we don't hold onto it. It happens and then stops. We let ourselves feel it and then breathe it out and let the calmness come trickling back.
Look at the weather and see yourself.
