Living in the leap

I was feeling confused last night.  You know, I am wracking my brain daily trying to figure out how we survive and thrive.  I am not quite obsessive, but it would not be an inapt word.

And I felt this confusion running through me.  I never know what to do.  I don’t know how to do self care, and to balance it with the work I do for money, and the work I do for love.

And I entered this confusion, and felt old spiritual masters smiling at me.  This was a feeling they became used to, and mastered.

And I felt that a life lived properly is very much like staying in that moment between when you jump, from one place to another, and when you land.  You are always in the middle, and there is no firm ground in the middle.  There is no place in the middle.  There is no stability in the middle. If you can learn to accept and even thrive on this feeling, you can go far.

“Being present to the moment” is not the beginning.  It is, I feel, the final act of a completed spirituality.
