The Earth Moved

Ever have that moment when you’re standing still and you can feel the earth move under your feet. It shifts whether you want it to or not, and the way it shifts can be startling and enlightening or maddening and life altering. Sometimes it moves and your feet were way too far above the surface to feel the shudder of change, and when you land you can’t get your bearing because nothing is where it is supposed to be and you can never get your balance until it moves again.

The best time when it moves is when you can feel it, and it puts you right again. Things are suddenly aligned the way they should have been all along, and it just took the earth its own sweet time to right itself under your feet. When it moves you to where you belong, the air is clearer, your heart beats with a certainty, your soul feels warm and you can feel yourself living again – not just existing.

Be the Pooh.
