Stuck

I was up very early today. The sky seemed stuck in pre-dawn mode for an unusually long time. The beautiful band of red, pink and purple seemed not to change at all over time. Finally, I left the beach in order to catch my flight to LA. It was as though the sunrise was stuck.

Stuck energy does not feel good. First of all, there is the issue that you are not moving forward. But, there is also a lot of discomfort from the build up of energy behind the stuck point. It's like a dam holding back an enormous force of water. That actually causes more discomfort than the lack of forward momentum. Relief comes only when forward motion is resumed, however small. The key to staying or getting unstuck is to keep moving, if only a little bit at a time. Eventually, full movement will return as each little step builds momentum from the last one.
