It can be difficult to imagine how trying times are actually a hidden opportunity for enhancement. When we are in the throes of dealing with a difficult situation or person we are focused usually on getting it over with as soon as possible.  I don’t’ know about you but I can go into what I call the “just gotta get through” mode.  I know how to hunker down and make it through difficulty.  I have done it before and I can do it again. And yes, nothing lasts, and everything changes but seriously!  Who is built to live through uncertainty after uncertainty?  Who in their right mind is focusing on how to do so could be an enhancement to their life?  Not me.  Yet what God is constantly speaking into my heart as we continue to be in this uncertain and unclear state of affairs is “keep your eyes on me”.  It is an expression I have heard God share with me many many times throughout my life.  When the world is inviting me at every moment to look here, there, and everywhere God’s message is a different one.  Whatever our understanding is of the energy that is not limited to only our understanding is it is where we can find the peace we seek when all seems lost.  Learning to connect and reconnect is part of the dance with the divine.  Just as we breathe in and out we actually exist within uncertainty more than we realize.  Part of the beauty of the breath is in exploring the degree to which we can use it.  Perhaps it is not until there is a worldwide focus on the importance of our breathing, do we find ourselves open to learning what we can control and what we cannot at our basic force of life. We may not have a say in the first breath or the last breath of our lives, but we control how the ones in between go.  I am brought back to God’s message to focus.  In the attention to my breath, I can steady my mood, wake myself up, reignite my interest and focus, and so much more.  Maybe we are all being invited to breathe into the difficulty, awaken our hearts and discover the enhancement awaiting us in between our first and last breaths.
