Gravity Is Calling
I’m imagining things being different. Of course I am. I’m a human.
”What if I lived in this house and not that one?” “If only the shower was a little bit warmer it would be perfect”. “If I’d done that they would have understood me”. “The weather should be better this afternoon”…etc.
Honestly, pretty much everything that is going on in my thought life … that incessant chatter that we have with ourselves in our heads, even though we are in fact “ourselves” and should really know it all already …. is about things changing.
And, when those imagined changes happen, I’ll be happy, right?
?
Well it’s true Gravity Is Calling, and things will inevitably change. Sometimes in ways I desire but sometimes, perhaps often … not. Sometimes because of things I do, but mostly … not.
And so, it turns out, that at all times my best option appears to be to let the noisy voices in my head drift by, and to accept the messy imperfectness of now.
