I really resonated with this message. At this stage in my life, many life aspects feel up in the air, and that can often feeling overwhelming. Not knowing when to start because it's all too much. This message helps this transitional phase of my life feel more manageable, and, well, exciting. Instead of everything, I can focus on the projects in front of me, and the people and places in my life. I also think this message is especially important politically -- when a president wants to keep us in a state of chaos, we must stay focused.

Thank you for this simple but profound orientation to navigate overwhelm. I hadn't also thought about the coldness of the season contributing to the agita, but that makes a lot of sense. My existential dread is beyond my usual Seasonal Affective Disorder, but the two combined are a lot.

My next thing is to guest lecture to a class of medical students today about the importance of spiritual care. Then it's meeting with a spiritual directee. And later taking my kids to basketball practice. And attempting to finish writing a post on creativity and spiritualitu.
