Today my mind was swirling, and it was the kind of swirling that takes me off guard, that sneaks in, nearly blindfolds me, and leads me down a path that I know well, but when I am a-swirl (and blindfolded!), I don't know where I am going until I get there. And then I don't know how to get back. Except I do. I found my way back today.
Oh that twistly, twirly ragged path that I get on sometimes--littered with insecurity, with self-doubt, with all kinds of ugliness. If I just stop, take a look around, sniff the air, feel the ground beneath my feet, I can find my way back to my place of my own. And no one even has to lead me there.

I know that feeling of swirling too well. Stopping long enough to get back requires awareness I don't always have...glad you found the path back!
I can also relate well. I love how you phrased this as well...poetic and true. Also, glad you found your way back. XOXO
ah, mindful parenting.
Lovely thought; interesting how it always seems to work itself out, and often in a simpler, more obvious way than we make it out originally!
