nagging thoughts

In this moment in time, nagging thoughts buzz through my mind, distracting me from important things in the "now" that I need to focus on. Forcing my thoughts to turn inwards.....

In the space of a heart beat choices are made. Most of us do it all the time without knowing it. The ones that we consciously make, especially for things that matter to us most - takes a lot more thought and self reflection, taking a wholistic view of this choice and what it will mean in our life and the changes it will make in our path, if any. Is it going to be that small pebble that although small in size, start a small domino affect of change? Or just a large rock thrown in our pool? Making a big splash of things. That once things die down, you realise that the big splash didn't make such a big impact after all. As aware we are and well thought out these choices are made, usually there is one or two that we make that still manage to surprise us. Because it's not until later on, that you come to realise the significance of the choice you've made and the impact it has had on the path you travel. There really is nothing left to do but make the best of what you've got. Because after all, it is only through change that we grow, however painful it is at times.

The tempest within howls with frustration, rage and sorrow as I gather my strength and clear my mind so I can tear myself away and force myself into the "now". And I tell myself once again...."not right now, just a little while to go, please just hold on tight. There isn't enough of me right now."
