Chaos Reflection Prompt

 

 

 The Quiet Spark

Chaos Reflection Prompt

Think of a recent day that unravelled.
Maybe nothing went according to plan.
Maybe you felt rushed, overwhelmed, misunderstood, or simply exhausted by the pace of it all.

Pause for a moment and gently replay that day in your mind — not to judge it, but to understand it.

What was the first moment when things started to feel off?
Was it something someone said?
A change you didn’t expect?
A demand that came when your energy was already low?

Now notice what helped you stay grounded — even just a little.

Was it taking a deep breath?

Stepping outside?
Talking to someone who made you feel seen?
Or maybe it was a quiet inner voice that reminded you, “I don’t have to fix everything right now.”

And if nothing helped… that’s okay too.
That’s information, not failure.

Ask yourself: What might help next time?
What small anchor could you give yourself — a pause, a boundary, a breath, a walk, a journal page — something simple that brings you back to yourself when life starts to feel like too much?

Because chaos is part of being human.
But so is learning how to return to your center.

This reflection isn’t about controlling your days.
It’s about building a gentle relationship with yourself — one that says, “Even when things fall apart, I can find my way back.”

Take a breath.
Carry that awareness into tomorrow.
And trust that you’re learning, one moment at a time.

Boundary Reflection Spark

 

Think of one thing you’ve said yes to that doesn’t serve your peace.

 
Not because you wanted it — but because you felt you had to.

Notice how it feels in your body when you think about it.
The tension. The heaviness. The quiet resistance.

Now imagine saying no.💧

Not with guilt. Not with excuses.
Just a simple, honest no.

What would that feel like?

Uncomfortable at first… maybe.
But also lighter. Calmer. Freer.

Because every time you say no to what drains you,
you say yes to your peace.

Stillness Reflection Spark

 

Take five minutes today to sit in silence.

 
No phone. No noise. No fixing. Just being.

At first, you’ll hear sounds — the room, the world, your breath.
Then you’ll hear your thoughts.
And if you stay a little longer, you may hear something deeper: stillness.

Notice what you feel.
Tension you didn’t realize you were holding.
Emotions you haven’t had space for.
Or a calm you forgot was possible.

Silence doesn’t create these things — it reveals them.

And notice what you learn:
That your thoughts come and go.
That you are not your thoughts — you are the one noticing them.
That peace isn’t something you find outside — it’s something you uncover within.

So take five minutes. Sit in silence. And listen — not just to the world, but to yourself.

Remembering a young departed soul

 

During the 1980s, there was an unusual death by drowning in a suburb of Johannesburg.  

The young fellow known as Norman Oneale was 16 years old and went camping for the weekend with a friend.  However, they were not even at the Wemmerpan Dam for more than a day, when the incident occurred.  The newspapers got it wrong, his name, and the fact that he was an excellent swimmer, so the drowning, in my opinion, was an accident that never was investigated thoroughly. 

Although it was winter and I can imagine the water was freezing, I think he was pushed in and did not die from drowning but a heart attack. When pushed into the icy water, his body probably went into shock from the cold, and he was unable to get out and "his friend" did not even help.  

 I do know that there was no postmortem done to determine the actual cause of death, and so we lost another wonderful young person.

 

 

Rest in peace always, young Norman.
