I had a challenging rehearsal today, I was off. I wasn’t in the groove, I was swimming against the tide. I started to panic and feel waves of embarrassment as I struggled to find my way. It’s hard for me to be gentle and make mistakes without going into shame, but I am getting there. I am starting to understand that by asking for help and talking about what is going on I can find my way back home. Knowing that it’s all part of the journey helps me. Discovering that gentleness and humor are what I most need in those moments, will guide me. It's becoming clear to me that I am the life saver I am seeking.
Do you know those times when something is just off? Yes, you do. I have been feeling that lately. Something is off. There is a strange comfort in that, it’s that I know what is going on. I know I am off, therefore I know when I am on, I know when I am in harmony.
