I'm currently on a plane to England.
And it dawned on me. Being from Northern Ireland, the weather over the summer is generally terrible. BUT, the skies are always blue. Not make sense? Let me explain. It's generally rather cloudy and rainy in Northern Ireland. (Hence why the island is so green) You maybe get a grand total of 3-4 weeks of sunshine every year. And when you do get sunshine. Northern Ireland is stunning. But regardless of how rainy, stormy and windy it gets. The skies are always blue. Before this plane took off this morning, there was a sky filled with grey clouds, the rain had already started and it was bitter cold. When we took off and reached 30,000 feet, the skies were blue. But beneath me there are still lots of clouds. The skies might appear gloomy and like it might cause you to break/cause inconvenience. But when you take a step back and realise that your ego is causing you to think that the circumstances that is your life are going to be too much for you to bare. That's like initially lifting off the ground. You keep taking steps back from yourself to "see the bigger picture" if you will. And you realise that you are the bigger picture that you, the real you; is connected to everything. You rise above it and look down at everything that's happening in your life and realise that you are a separate thing all together from your ego. You're ego is a part of you and not the other way away around. then realised that this is kinda like meditation and just generally realising that this is it. (How poetic 😂) In this analogy the blue skies represent the real you and the cloudy miserable skies represent all the circumstances in your life and how your ego reacts to it. Thinking "poor little me". We are allowed to vent and get angry and upset. Im not in anyway suggesting that we suppress these thoughts. But take them for what they are. Just thoughts. Acknowledging them is great, let them run their course. But they're not you. You are much more than your thoughts and emotions. Have you ever wondered where thoughts come from? Because they aren't you. Just watch your thoughts go by right now. It's surreal isn't it? Where do they come from? Lol anyway. Little trippy discussion over.
