Newton's Law

From the Somnia Tarot, the Two of Coins; from the Spirits of Nature Oracle, Cicadas:

The law of centrifugal force seems to be as true for the human condition as it is for the Newtonian mechanics. The faster our lives spin, the more things tend to fly apart.

― Richard Paul Evans

I saw a pin-on button once with a duck and the slogan, "I may look like I'm gliding across water, but I'm paddling like hell underneath." Life often calls on us to step up our obligations and duties, but doing so for too long can take a toll. Our bodies try to warn us that we're overloaded as our thoughts struggle through a fog of exhaustion. When we begin to feel busy but not productive, we may need to take Haemin Sunim's advice and ask ourselves, "Is it the world that’s busy, or is it my mind?" Maybe we are trying to fix or change a situation that is impossible. The Cicada, an insect that emerges in mass numbers and produces an oceanic buzzing sound, tells us to find our voice. Can we tell people 'No' when they try to add to our load - even those who think they are being helpful? Can we delegate some of our duties to others? We may be able to assist others, but we can only save ourselves.
