I've been in Jamaican for the past six days and although enjoying myself completely there are times it gets so hot that I think I may melt into a puddle of Kate. This morning during breakfast, I experienced one of those times.
Just as I was thinking I must get out of the sun, a lovely breeze blew in from the sea and reminded me that sometimes relief will come in the next moment and not to be hasty about quitting or leaving a situation that is uncomfortable or difficult. When I commented on how good it felt, my waiter said, "Yeah, Mon....that is our Caribbean breeze....always refreshes".
As in most every day experiences when I am tuned in and aware, there is a lesson here for me. Today's lesson is to stay and to not give up or give in to what I perceive to be more than I can handle. Patience and a mind that does not dwell or focus on the negative can often move through that particular situation into one of greater ease, simply by allowing for a bit more time to pass and perhaps another perspective or idea to show up.
So, as I leave my air conditioned space and venture outdoors once again, I will be open to the breezes that I trust will continue to come.
