Reading through some other posts on drinking and came across this phrase,
“What I use to call boredom, I now call serenity.”
Wow. That hit home. I have long said I wanted to be more calm, more present. I have long feared “boredom”. On the surface, they can look so very much alike. Internally, they are night and day. One is a panic-inducing, claw my way to fresh air feeling. The other is not. But, I realized that those feelings are a matter of perspective and perhaps the reason I do not feel calm is I do not do well feeling bored.
Calm is being here now. Serene is being here now. Bored? Is also being here now.
