Quick thoughts from meditation today

Today, during my morning meditation, the woman guiding the practice said something that I feel compelled to share. 

Imagine your life as a bottle filled with water and dirt. Sometimes, the bottle gets shaken up, the dirt mixes with the water, and it becomes impossible to see through the bottle. But if we have a bit of patience, stay calm and wait, eventually the dirt falls back down and the water clears up. 

The dirt will always be there, as will the clean water. Sometimes all we can do is just wait for things to settle.
