Earthquakes are to wake us up to the reality that we are ultimately not in charge. We might say, “Why did the Creator make this earth so precarious?” Well, when you are so self-absorbed, or there is a major conflict, like a war, nothing draws us away from this as a “natural disaster.” We don’t call it “unnatural,” because it is quite natural to this earth. A tsunami, that wipes out a whole army on a sea-shore would get our attention. It certainly stops the fighting for land, power, control and wealth. The rich build near the sea or on mountain tops. The view is great…until. So I remember this in my meditation. Control is an illusion. I live in San Francisco. I have been in one earthquake. It stopped a lot of pettiness. It stopped a Wold Series!

I was 5 months sober before I realized I had control issues, now that I'm sober I am thankful to know when that trait is showing up or trying to show up. Meditation lets me be aware and access the pause button. Mother Natures events are not ones that I can do a thing about, except to extend a helping hand and practice acceptance. ❤️
