Rigidity

I am feeling the urge in my life, right now, to move beyond the limited perceptions, projections and hidden agendas I've lived in the past - and upon which my mind loves to rely - and to step forward into the void of not knowing. This is a terrifying practice for my mind which loves to plan and feel safe but these behaviours have just led me to a rigidity about so many aspects of my life. There is a wonderful reality out there to be explored and yet I feel that I've kept myself in a cardboard box of rigid perceptions upon I have relied implicitly and which do not reflect the truth of what reality is. Now I feel that the cardboard box is becoming more permeable and I'm seeing the possibilities beyond it and am beginning to reach out for what is actually real . . . The practice in this is to hold deep compassion and healing for all those parts of myself which are scared of changing and allow them to be and evolve in their own time.
