Panic & Light
March 5, 2017
What gives you light? #startwhereyouare
I woke up at 4am in panic. I don’t know where my life is going. What am I going to do? Should I go back to college even though I am 100 and I still have student loans from the first time when I never graduated?
What gives you light? warm summer mornings spent alone on the beach.
Panic. Is my daughter going to graduate? Is she bipolar and I haven’t helped her get diagnosed so she can get herself under control? I am not doing enough. I am not there enough. It’s easier to step back and ignore than fight. How will she survive?
What gives you light? Finding a spot tucked away in the woods by the river where no one can see me and I can read and write and think.
Panic. My daughter needs to come home and get off her dads couch where I can see her and make sure she is growing and learning to be an adult. She’s turning 18 in a few months and she isn’t prepared for the real world. She doesn’t know how to drive. She doesn’t make enough money. I can’t pay for college.
What gives you light? Meditative yoga class surrounded by kindred energy.
Panic. My son spends too much time alone in his room. How can I help him make real friends? How can I prepare him for the world? I am not doing enough. I am taking the quiet as a sign things are ok but really I am avoiding the work. I don’t know how to do the work.
What gives you light? Hearing my kids laugh together. I sound very scarce these days since we are always separated. You aren’t doing enough. You aren’t doing enough.
I believe I need more light.

So I meant to comment on this earlier but didn’t get chance. So…I was wondering how do you describe kindred energy?
Well I wouldn’t say I’d feel a kindred spiritship (I think I just made that word up) to everyone in a yoga class but the energy of others who find themselves in the same yoga classes I’ve be drawn to I feel is familiar. Everything is energy at different frequencies. Like attracts like. It also helps when mine is erratic to walk into a meditative class and have the energy of the whole help mine to calm. This probably makes no sense.
No it actually does. It would explain the difference in the friendships I formed when I was doing well and when I wasnt. I believe you attract what you are. But also, that if you’re in need of positive energy specifically, and you’re susceptible, that it finds you. Which is why I thought I’d ask your take. ☺
That’s exactly it. I was doing these things on my instagram over the summer called the daily beach and that’s an exact realization I had one day about the frequencies. I’ll see if I can find it.
Man maybe I just thought it and never actually wrote it. That seems about right. Here’s one of my daily beaches anyway. https://instagram.com/p/BH7I1lkB1ty/
