A pearl of wisdom from one who knows
In your mind, the littlest things can take on larger than life, almost epic proportions. You worry and worry, angst and angst, lose appetite, lose sleep, and then...
The clock winds down, it's that final second. You think "OMG, nothing I've thought about really prepared me for this moment, I'm going to fail, I'm going to fall, I know nothing, WHAT DO I DO?"
You go in, you get out of that car, you walk onto that stage and... it's utter peace. You either focus or lose focus to find that center, to release everything you've been holding in to simply be. You perform, you smile, you take your bow, you walk off stage.
Only then, in the privacy of that quiet space off to the side where nothing can harm you do you collapse.
...Such has been this week in repetition. I am DONE with it all and ready to curl up in a ball with my blankie and my pillow and sleep for the rest of the quarter.
