All of us are waiting to see what the next few weeks bring. The war-racked economy impacts everyone worldwide. And Trump thought he deserved a Nobel Peace Prize. He will take publicity and recognition for anything, at any time, maintaining his status as a loose canon careening around on the deck of Planet Earth, firing away anytime he feels like it. The international economy is a long time away from settling down. As goes the economy, so goes our lives. Prices, salaries, livelihoods, and a future we can count on, all up in the air.
So, where do you go to calm yourself and begin to restore your balance and harmony? I recommend Emptiness, Stillness, Silence (One thing, not three). But, of course I would! The biggie is emptying ourselves of our anxiety, insecurity, uncertainty, and fear of the worst. Take your favorite rock with you to the place you set in the silence. Consider the rock. The rock has no fear. No concern. No worries. Become the rock. Be the rock. If you cannot carry the rock with you through the day, carry the memory of the rock with you, and allow it to connect you to the Emptiness, Stillness and Silence. If nothing else, it will break your habit of constant anguish and agony regarding our prospects. The rock has no prospects. Become the rock. Be the Rock. And smile.
