Looking at things from outside

Sometimes you are too close to things to see them clearly.
For a moment you feel the urgency of extracting these things from the inside and try and see them with a colder sight.

It's not easy, especially if you are used to listen to your warmer and soft side. Sometimes you have to see things objectively, shut these sides down, see life with a pinch of objectivity and evaluate the opportunity of this or that choice.
It's like, paraphrasing a friend of mine "when everything seems confused, freeze".

Seat in the dark. Look, from the quiet of this place, at the confusion, the things moving fast, the light too bright inside and, somehow the context of peace in which you momentarily seat, helps to feel more peaceful inside too.

Sometimes you just need to breath, immerse in the quiet, see from the outside and that beautiful candle light will come back to warm you up and quietly suggest the right path...

Try.
