Our #summerofrich trails led us through a tunnel today.
The tunnel felt metaphoric.
I stopped for a moment to take a picture before entering.
I observe my reality from a distance.
I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
It feels like a trap though.
My emotions get in the way.
I immediately go into fight or flight mode.
Anxiety narrows my vision once again; somedays it’s completely blinding.
I feel stuck inside.
I want so much to feel more in the here and now.
These #summerofrich moments remind me how important it is to look around and not to focus solely on what lies ahead.
Being in the moment can feel way more empowering and a whole lot less scary anyways because you never really know if that light you are seeing ahead of you at the end of the tunnel is just the light from an oncoming train.
