Maybe it is because it is windy here in Ireland, that I  post  a reflection on the wind to help us deal with moments we are afraid,  feeling deficient, or burdened with the need to “become”, to be better, as Sharon Salzberg described this morning :

It is essential to understand that an emotion is merely something that arises, remains and then goes away. A storm comes, it stays a while, and then it moves away. At the critical moment remember you are much more than your emotions. This is a simple thing that everyone knows, but you may need to be reminded of it: you are more than your emotions.
