Six months before, when I woke up, there seemed to be writing on the wall opposite my bed. There stood „everything is changing from now on“.
I wasn’t afraid. Maybe I should have been. I went to my knees, and everything I had, went. No self-control, no pulling together any more. Myself, flooded in tears I had spared the years before. Now shedding them whenever I was awake and don’t seem to be able to stop.
„Try meditation“, my sister said to me one day on the phone. She might have been tired consoling me and also was right in telling me I had to do something myself.
Become aware of the thoughts in your head. Watch these thoughts without judging. They are only shreds of energy. Let them pass like clouds in the sky.
I didn’t think that would have much effect, but I tried. This was a revelation.
It took three minutes to become happier than ever in my life.
