When You Feel Like You Are Twisting In The Wind

Now is a time to quiet. To turn in. To ground down. To open wide. Take a deep breath in. Exhale. Welcome to a Hit of Hope. Do you know how there are phrases that everyone else seems to know but you only hear later? The phrase “Twisting in the wind” is one of those for me. A friend who is going through rehab used it to describe his life. And it’s popped up a couple more times since then. Inhale. Exhale. Even though I didn’t know the saying, I’m familiar with the feeling. Maybe you are, too.

Sooooo 'twisting ' these days Betsy. Wish I could blink and my winter blahs would be over. Breathing deeply, meditating 2xs daily, and seeing the dayz lengthening, helps. Thx for being here for me.. 🧘‍♀️

Wow, I felt the same! Never heard this phrase but related to it. Always love your honesty and meditations ❤

I love this and I needed to hear it. Thank you for these words of encouragement.

So much to soak in from each of your meditations. 🙏

People (coworkers, friends, family) all seem to think of me as this calm, laid-back, well-adjusted dude. I'm pleased at that, and it's true that I am much further along that path than once was the case, but what would they think iif they could see the tattered, frayed, sweat- and tear-soaked rag of me caught up in that barbed-wire fence, pulled and beaten by wind and weather?
Would they see only the shattered image they had perceived? Would they pity or dismiss the illusion?
I'm not invested in other's opinions of me, but I see for myself the resilience to return to my center; the surrender to the overarching benevolence of life happening FOR me rather than to me.
I breathe. I seek out teachers to help me return to my true self.
I thank Life for acting ever on my behalf.
And I thank those teachers, too.
