Calm and centered is how I am feeling this evening. Hurricane force winds are expected to reach here at around 2pm tomorrow. No evacuation recommendation has been given yet as the path is still uncertain. We have turned off media long ago and are aware that it is filled with fear mongering
The building we are in has stood strong through decades of hurricanes and we have food and water to last well over a week. The area we live in also has local legends of being sacred protected grounds. Our ancestors look after us and the animals that habit the coastline.
Years ago, I would have succumbed to the panic that many people are experiencing. I am grateful my journey has led me to a place where I feel peaceful regardless of how others are reacting. I have complete trust that all is going to turn out for the best and that I'm prepared to deal with anything.
This is a long ways from the scared little boy I was taught to be by well meaning family and authority figures. Letting go of the storms that were always brewing a hurricane in my subconscious has brought this gift of peace.
It may seem silly to anyone still harboring the fears that society pushes on us. I see it silly to have fears about anything and when I become aware of a repressed fear I deal with it and let it go too. If I felt danger for my health in any way I would respond accordingly.
Storms pass and the sun is going to come up day after day. What matters is how we respond to the events and circumstances we are faced with. That is our responsibility. I choose not to be controlled by fears and to listen to the divine inside that guides with Unconditional love.
