What does a piano have to do with inner peace?
Quite a lot actually as it has 88 keys and probably the most well-known is middle C
Home is middle C, the centre, now
Most of us are scattered across all of the keys and hardly ever here until we are forced to be here by some accident or emergency
We have a past we are not at peace with and regularly visit hoping for change
We have a future that scares us and while stealing our time, rarely leads to progress
We have noise bombarding us from all angles every day creating distraction
We have access to thousands of lives creating doubt through comparison
We have a mind that is still “grab” dominant and so much of our environment we miss
We actively avoid this moment as we have labelled nothing as boredom
We often struggle to connect with others as we have become strangers to ourselves
The root of so much of our suffering is that we are fragmented across the whole keyboard in memories, emotions and energy and struggle based on this as now is the only place anything can happen and change, yet is often the last place we are comfortable being
The mind is torn between – keep running from this, or something great is just up ahead. Nothing much is happening here so keep moving!
Life is here and that is the problem if we are desperately trying to get away from it so somewhere better
To be present, slow down and stop goes against so much of what we have been taught about success and other areas of life. To be here, silent, present, doing nothing apart from being and at peace with whatever arises is so easy that it is impossible for many people as they rarely tell their brains they are completely safe and can switch off
Everything is here and now
Are you?
