<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A box of glass marbles, a kaleidoscope. Can it really be that my expressions, sides and energies change endlessly? Am I loving, open, boundless, exhausted, empathetic, angry, receptive and belligerent?<\/p>\n
\nAs I try to keep practicing, I discover time and time again that everything goes in waves. At least inside.<\/p>\n
I'm the one who says "yes, of course, I'll do that"\u201d
\nI am the loving mother who brings tea to my coughing child.
\nI am an open person who invites an Italian child in for five months.<\/p>\n
I'm the one who only cautiously suggests helping the neighbor this week.
\nI am the mother who boils the water without putting the tea bag in.
\nI am an open person who is silent from exhaustion.<\/p>\n
\nI'm the one who, out of the blue, yells: "NO!"\u201d
\nI'm the mom yelling up the stairs because the kid hasn't cleaned up after himself.
\nI am an open person who stops talking because I need alone time.<\/p>\n
\nI'm the one who asks if the neighbor wants to go for a walk.
\nI am the empathetic mother who buys juice for breakfast, even on a weekday.
\nI am an open person who listens even when it is quiet.<\/p>\n
I'm the one who attacks before you even say anything.
\nI'm the mother who scolds just because it's morning.
\nI am an open person who is a spiteful, fire-breathing dragon.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And I am completely, completely quiet.<\/p>\n
\nThe polarities surge within me \u2013 I can kill, I can give birth to a child. I am generous, I am greedy, I am accommodating, I am aggressive. I am all colors.<\/p>\n
But most of the time no one sees it. I breathe deeply, I am kind, ordinary, calm in my inhale. Even calmer in my exhale. Neutral in my being.
\nIn my reflective gaze, I look inward into my consciousness, see the colors, the facets, the edges and the contradictions.<\/p>\n
Calmly I sit on my pillow. Calmly I walk in the world. At least that's my intention. It's going well. Really well. For a really long time at a time. <\/p>\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A box of glass marbles, a kaleidoscope.

\nUntil then crashes,<\/em> and I discover that sometimes I'm still a complete beginner.
\nAnd I ask myself: Are you a crystal ball?<\/em><\/p>\n
