They "wayward wobble" is so informative. When everything feels in flux, sometimes we must listen to the mystical and the physical. Imbalance prevents the embodiment of joy from occurring...when often it is a natural calling.

I am reminded of the Pogo Ball I used to have as a kid. I found it all more enjoyable to get it to balance, then getting it to pogo. Truly, if one tried to pogo ball down the street to your friends house, you tired in about 20 jumps and gave up to walk the rest of the way. It reminds me that just because something is created, marketed even, doesn't mean it is meant for us to enliven, enshrine or embody.

Everything feels like a pogo ball commute these days. Heavy, awkward, tense, giving blisters and exhausting you without making much headway. Our awareness is never static. And it is always why we are not meant to sit at desks for 8-12 hours a day. We are meant to walk, talk, connect, debate, discern and swim in the tides of change.

Breathing should be deep, especially in the riptides of change that appear shallow, but can grip you like a vice if you are not careful and calm. How do we get unstuck? We listen deeply, and honor the emergence and the effervescence of our divine. And then we dive in. Deep breath in first, long exhale out making beautiful bubbles as we reach for the surface. Thank you, Helen for meeting me where I needed this morning.
