Opportunities to practice abundance, when stuff sucks.
Like every other body part, the hip's uses, benefits, abilities and talents become really obvious when it's not behaving in its normal fashion. I was trying to write this without actually saying "my hip is fucked up and almost everything is a challenge." Ooops, there... I said it. Challenge, challenge - Universal life force, Divine Mother and Father, please bestow upon me your wisdom and grace.... and healing, if you don't mind... so that I may better succeed at re-framing what is happening, what I am experiencing. Thank you for the moments of calm and peace in-between the BS. "I radically embrace now" works... for a moment. But it also reminds me of the pilot Star Trek episode called Menagerie, when Captain Pike (predecessor to Kirk) and a woman named Veena were held captive in a "zoo" and tried to mentally block the Bad Aliens' mind-control techniques. Weirdly instead of love, Veena had discovered over the decades that only primitive thoughts of hate, would block their abilities to read their prisoners' minds. I know compared to some people's fate...those in wars, crashes, ICUs.... I have a decent chance of returning to how I was a month ago. And want to improve even beyond that. What works for you, when stuff sucks, what do you turn to, practice or seek?
