It happened

Whatever happens, happens.

The moment we realise that something has occurred, it already has, it’s in the past.

Therefore, we can not change it.

However, a great deal of energy is often spent on not liking what has happened, and deny it or even wanting a different outcome to occur.

Once we reach a point of accepting everything as it is, then we can take all the emotions and mind activity out of trying to change or deny it. This then allows us to take action, if needed, from a place of calm and acceptance within.

Our mind, which is an amazing tool, is then free for us to use to look at solutions now.

The other thing is to not them go into future projections as to what may occur as a result of a happening. Just stay present, and the mind will be silent. We have no way of knowing what might occur as a result of something, so again best to not think about it and remain at peace within.

The essence of all things is to use the mind as a tool and not allow the mind to control us with its thoughts of past and future.

Flutter by

Drip, drip, drip
Slowly like a snail
Invisible like a wisp
It comes, step by step
We do not see it

It meanders and skips
It sneaks up on us
It catches us unaware
It hides and pounces
It’s stealthy

Once we notice it
It lights up
When we respond to it
It grows
And grows

It grabs us
It drags us along
It is like a magnet
And more come
They join in

Soon we are dragged along
Soon we are bumping around
Soon we are engulfed in them
Soon we are plunge into the dark
Soon we are feeling fear

We can’t seem to escape
The darkness comes
We are feeling anxious
We are feeling frightened
We have become them

And then we pause
There is a light
It first is faint
Then it’s stronger
The light grows

We feel the light’s energy
We feel it’s strength
We feel it’s love
We know it’s real
We awaken and free ourselves

We become the light
And we realise
That all there was in the dark
Was our mind, it’s fear
We were grabbed by its thoughts

Now we know the light
We can say goodbye
We can let those thoughts
Flutter by
We are free
