The phrase ‘fall back’ brought to mind ‘group trust’ exercises we used to do as part of a theatre troupe, or amongst staff at any number of Crisis Centers I worked at decades ago. One person would stand in the center of the circle and fall back, trusting s/he would be caught by one of the surrounding co-workers and compatriots.
Today, even without listening to the news, it’s impossible to avoid the myriad of things beyond my control – Hurricane Sandy devastating parts of the east coast, the incessant hate-messages one of the most mean-spirited political campaigns I’ve ever witnessed.
Only a couple of days away from ‘The Election’, I need to let it all go.
I need to fall back into a place of peace and centeredness that will sustain, regardless of the outcome.
