Yep, It Works (Being vs. Doing, that is)

Second post for today — feels necessary given the last rant.  I’ll keep it brief.

I ended my last post by stating that I was choosing to be with my anger rather than try to do anything with it.  Turned out that was the best thing I could’ve done (ironic, I know, given that I wasn’t really “doing” anything).  You see, by choosing to simply be with the anger — feel it, let it bubble up, not ignore it or use it in any way, I was able to move through it fairly quickly.  And once I was through the anger, clarity began to emerge.

What I’ve relearned through this experience today is that ultimately, there needs to be this balance between being and doing, and that many times the balance looks like more being than doing.  Which can be a tricky concept in our “doing-based” society.  What I know for sure is that when I let things be, myself included, the required doing naturally happens.  What actually needs to get done is naturally illuminated.  And then I can settle into that state of ease — the state that I know is my natural one.

Bottom-line:  when it comes right down to it, when you don’t know what to do, just be.  It’ll move you to gold everytime.
