Relaxing is yielding the fruit of spontaneously willing to trust that all is well and know that what is not well will be made well. What I need to do will become clear because wisdom guides and prompts me as well as provides the resources when I need them best and most.
That does not mean that my hallelujah chorus does not get interrupted and switch to baa baa baah when my mind strays from the certainty that my intentions and actions are positive, supportive, generous, and life sustaining. Also, doubt and impatience still try to stalk the mind even while grazing in green pastures beside still waters with the Shepherd in plain sight. It is amazing how they sneak up on me and sometimes have the knack to scare me, even though slightly, and in places and at times I least suspect!
Still I have the courage to let my guard down, and if I had any hair, that is the time I would let it go and frolic in a field full with butterflies, eagles, lions and snakes as the wind teases and plays with my hair. Since I have no hair I let it lighten my heart and tickle my lungs and bring out the best laugh in me!

Wooohooo! I love that even better!
