An Extra Measure

An extra measure of the spirit pays an unexpected visit, leaving a more centered clarity in its wake. No precipitating development... quite the contrary. With circumstances escalting that would normally undermine, tap into deep fears, or knock me off balance, I stand both within myself and outside myself. Comfortably both experiencing the dynamic and watching the dynamic. Strangely safe while much is at stake. Not needing to expend my energy holding on so tightly to what is not really mine. All I can think is an extra measure of the spirit.
