Surfing the Tides

Flexibility and least effort are two concepts that go hand in hand when surfing the tide of life.

Being in a place when least resistance is the strategy of the moment, I lose the desire to fight uncertainty, which is what I have been tempted to do these past few days! I know that it is time to take another step forward and somehow it feels like I need also to take a step backwards. Life is ready to take me deeper into its mystery or maybe it is already taken me there, and just waiting for me to step inside the darkness where the light is also shining brightly.

Staying still during a turbulence is not easy and in the school of total acceptance of what is, this is what’s required to make it through! Oh how I wish I could change that policy in Natures curriculum! Since this is not a practical handy helper, I will relax and imagine the experience of serenity. The freedom to break away from limited thinking and be able to explore unlimited possibilities, exploring new interests and even revisiting old interests with fresh enthusiasm feels strange- a strange kind of contentedness I always wanted to experience.

Even the conundrums are welcomed to help in the growing and flourishing of the garden of life... that's my take on life now, anyway!

The strong desire to haggle with or manipulate the outcome of the Creator’s reason why I am here is slowly dying. I have a much better grip on the reason why grief is an acceptable need in the letting go and the moving on with life’s pilgrimage .
