There are days when my mood reflects the weather outside. It’s dark, it’s gray and it’s somber. While walking through the city, I try to shake off the dark thoughts in my head. The wind is blowing quite strong, I hope it’ll blow away the unwanted images in my head. It’s strange that just like the weather one day it can be bright and sunny and the next day the total opposite. As I’m getting on the bus to home I stumble upon an old acquaintance. We talk for a while about work and life. Nothing special, but as we say goodbye about ten minutes later when he gets off the bus, I notice that I feel lighter again. He was a welcome distraction from the storm I was in. A short moment later I’m home and calm again. I don’t have answers to my worries and fears, but I’m tired from the long day and don’t have the energy to fight them anymore. I surrender to what is, staying in the moment instead of worrying about the future. Perhaps that was the solution to the storm all along.
