Time to get another tattoo: "I have Be Still tattooed on my wrist because I know that feelings, creativity, inspiration, wisdom, peace and the rest of the good stuff knock during empty moments – and that if we’re too “busy” to answer the door – they sneak into our souls through cracked windows and haunt us. We have to answer the knocks we hear in the quiet because it’s our LIFE knocking. But sometimes answering the door feels like too much to ask – so I log onto the internet in order to LOG OUT of my life. I habitually log on for the same reason I used to overeat and get drunk – to avoid what I know I’ll hear in the quiet, which might be a voice that requires me to feel or do something uncomfortable. So the internet has become my enabler. It keeps me from stillness and discomfort, and this keeps me from growing. Pema Chodron said, “So even if the hot loneliness is there, and for 1.6 seconds we sit with that restlessness when yesterday we couldn’t sit for even one, that’s the journey of the warrior.” “I swim best when I mentally stay in my own lane.” This is how I feel about running Four Trimesters - Mind your own business, do your best, focus on the present and the future will take care of itself!
