104. Ebb and Flow
Ups and downs, ebb and flow, feeling positive or negative, having highs or lows—it’s all the same picture. Ann Morrow Lindbergh in her classic book “Gifts From the Sea” talks about the ebb and flow of the ocean and how natural it is.
This is another learning that I have to keep working on, because I get caught in wanting my day to be all flow, all up, all positive, all high. And it’s hard for me to accept the rhythm of both or even some middle ground.
Occasionally reading or music or movement can help me get into that relaxed place that says it’s all o.k.—the flow will come again and you can just be, just be in the middle of the ebb.
