ANXIETY AND FIREWORKS

I was sitting on a balcony tonight watching the fireworks in Darling Harbour. I noticed I wasn't entirely enjoying the view, as I was also sitting with Anxiety, over nothing in particular, it was just there, with me. 

I thought, "I wish I could just be present with the fireworks with out the dancing of butterflies in my stomach". 

I then realized that wouldn't be presence anyway. How about I be present with my entire reality, the fireworks and the anxiety, hand in hand. I sat and breathed in, holding both the amazing view and the amazing dance within my stomach. 

It was then that the butterflies stopped. 

I was left, present and peaceful.
