Stop the weather . . .

“Today I remind myself of the deep relief and perspective that I gain when I am able to detach from the constantly turning wheel of events in my life and in the lives of those around me. There will always be a sort of kaleidoscopic series of people, places and situations in my life. Detaching from the hold they produce on my mind does not mean I do not take them seriously. Quite the contrary, when I gain some space, I am more available to myself and others because I am not preoccupied with endless thoughts. When my mind is detached, it is free to go where I call it and be where I choose it to be. There is a serenity that comes over me because I see there is no more point in trying to control events than in trying to control the weather – both will happen the way they will happen.” – T.D.
