Journey vs Destination

It's as easy as riding a bicycle, right?

Recently I’ve been practising riding my bike without holding the handle bars.
I keep trying to visualise everything in perfect balance.
Me and the bicycle in perfect harmony.
I get moments when everything is absolutely flowing.
When it feels so easy.
Yesterday by the time I left the park I found I was even singing.
You’re gonna spread your wings and reach for the skies!

This morning I couldn’t help but feel this is a bit like my life right now.
I'm trying to let go of the handle bars so that the Universe can decide where to take me.

Learning to swim

Last night, a dancer asked me whether I consciously made space for positivity.
I said I am focusing on my thoughts these days.
My own personal thought policeman.
Actively observing and listening to my internal dialogue.
I find it helps me discard the negative chatter.
It used to be really loud and even angry sometimes.
But it’s not angry anymore, and nor is it loud.
Its persistence seems to have lost its overwhelming power.
It reminds me of when my father taught us to swim in the sea.
It was in Hawaii. The waves were big and strong.
He showed us how to dive through.
I still get anxious, every now and then.
But it feels more like the shudder of a wave as it passes over.
