I went to a local park early one morning and sat on a worn, wooden grey bench in front of a pond. The air was fresh and the water peaceful and still. It was so still,that I could see the reflection of a few homes and trees from a nearby neighborhood crisp and clear as in a mirrored image.
Then without warning, two geese began to play splashing about in the pond causing ripples distorting the crisp images I had seen just moments before.
When I looked back at the neighborhood,the homes and trees were still intact. Even the reflections remained but were now blurred and unsteady.
As the water stilled, the reflected images came into focus growing sharp once again.
Life can be like that pond. One moment all is well with not a worry in sight. Then out of no where, the unexpected happens causing ripples which distort our perception causing anxiety and fear to surface.
When those ripples come instead of stressing out, close your eyes, take some slow deep breaths and wait for the water to still.
Your perspective will return and you will regain the clarity needed to move forward.
