Portrait Of The Now

Listen to "Portrait Of The Now" on Spreaker. I'm no expert in helping to heal emotional disconnections caused by societies walk on the streets of Here and In Between. Through writing daily it was brought to my attention that maybe the harsh news we are getting today about Coronavirus and the political battle for the White House isn't really what's taking us down and out. It's triggering how we've been here before. We know how we acted and reacted. Some of us lost a lot and others gained just a little. But it seems like everything we're moving through has already been lived. It just has a new name and image. On this podcast we walk through a conversation written in November of 2016 based on letting the presence of Now be the solution and not the next scar. It's horribly difficult to evolve into such a lifestyle because we're endlessly being triggered by social media's punch in the gut with stories that come across as being real only to learn a lot of emotional energy was burned up because the author thought false or not it would get people to talk. Letting all things move through you. I don't find enjoyment being a writer. I locate awareness. I study what's in motion and in the process of generating a solution I'm carrying with me a lot of notes. I may not use them today but one day the experience will serve as a guide. Like this moment of writing from November of 2016. The writer didn't know of our present conditions in the headlines. He spoke of letting things move through you and in doing so make sure you study what you're setting free. I don't remember anyone teaching me to do that in middle school Health class. Fear cannot be your answer. Fear cannot serve as the guide. Fear is your poison. What are you choosing to wash it away with? What is your most recent new habit? While the headlines are hot and heavy right now how many years will it take to step free of the escapes you've given yourself permission to use? Portrait of the Now. It doesn't cost anything to jot down a few notes. Being aware of yourself and how you are consuming the world is a brilliant step toward healing emotional disconnections.
