Self-Talk
"I’ve noticed the past two days you have been unlike yourself. What’s going on?
You know, Rilke has a line that says, 'learn to live with the unanswered questions.'
I have reflected on how I’ve been feeling the past two days.
I have theories about what has led me to feel a bit off, but I’m unsure why.
I think it’s a combination of things, a mix of feelings, but it’s a bit cloudy right now.
Because I am feeling this way, what I have chosen to do is take it easy with myself. To understand that throughout the day I may be highly sensitive, easily frustrated. So, I will approach myself, others, and what I do slowly.
All I can do is continue what I am doing, and be a bit more careful with myself, others, and what I do.
And pray, that perhaps, throughout the day, and tomorrow, I may arrive at a bit of clarity and peace.”
