I know, at times, life seems to be coming apart at the seams. Nothing seems orderly anymore and I get to feeling like a piece of fractured glass...A piece here, a piece there; all over the place...
When my computer gets that way I DEFRAG it, put everything back in place and all is fine again. Unfortunately, we humans are a little more complicated than that.
When all is in disarray sometimes, I have realized we just need to take a couple of steps back from life and have another look at things. It would be nice to be able to look at it from a Bird's view but I haven't learned to fly yet...
When we have problems, most of us have friends that mean well and have lots of good advice, how to fix the problem. Too often, we end up hearing about our friend's problem, before we ever fix ours. For the lucky ones, a good chat and a cup of coffee, sometimes helps, but I find that SOMETIMES, that is the last thing I need. The problem is mine, and mine alone, and I have to get away from everybody and work it out. Thanks for the bits of encouragement, all the well meant advice, but I have to go...
I have often heard that running away from things doesn't help, But I have found that to be absolute nonsense. An occasional change of geography does wonders for me. Get away from situations and every body. Go off by myself and try to put things back in focus...
Even when people try to help, just the sound of another voice(well meaning, or not) only tends to enhance the confusion in one's mind. I prefer going off into the woods, to listen to a running stream, maybe
a bird or two. The birds make noise, but it sounds more like singing to me. It MAY even be a good thing that I don't understand bird language.
I know that some people pay a lot of money to go and lay on a couch and tell someone else their problems. I would have to ask myself : DOES this guy really gives a damn, or that he is making money just listening to you and loves his job. I have to say I prefer SELF analysis...Besides, most of us can't afford to pay someone to listen to us...
Our lives have become so crowded that we are constantly bombarded with everyone else's thoughts and vibrations; waves of all kinds are coming at us from every direction. We just need to go to a place where we are alone, with only OUR thoughts, to sort out. Some have found ways(Meditation) to completely shut everything out; sort of like locking the door and cleaning house...alone!
I find that, sometimes, just keeping my hands busy with some made up project, helps to clear my thoughts. I know, from practice, that sitting around in the house thinking about how to fix the problem, doesn't do a thing for me...
