(Madisyn Taylor)
Our lives are continually in motion, buoyed by the wave that is the universe's flow. As the wave rises and falls, we are carried forward, through life's high and low points. The universe's flow may take us to a place in life where we would rather not be. As tempting as it can be to fight the direction and size of this wave that propels us, riding the wave is intended to make life easier. When you ride the wave, your life can evolve naturally and with minimal effort. Riding the wave, however, is not a passive experience. It is an active process that requires you to be attentive, cantered, and awake. You must also practice stillness so you can flow with, rather than resist the wave's motion.
Because life is dynamic and always changing, it is when we try to make the wave stand still or resist its direction that we are likely to get pulled under by its weight. If you try to move against the wave, you may feel as if you are trapped by it and have no control over your destiny … when you ride the wave, you are carried by it and your head can "stay above water" as you go wherever it takes you. It can be difficult to trust the universe and let go of the urge to fight life's flow … stay calm and relaxed. Riding the wave will always take you where you need to go.
My Thoughts:
Throughout my life I have made plans, not all have come to fruition and many-a-time things have changed directions out of my control, but nevertheless I have still planned, schemed and dreamed.
That has all changed … now I very rarely plan anything.
I write things that are happening around me on the calendar only to decide on the day that I don’t want to participate, or rather that I can’t be bothered. Big events are different. They get highlighted and are a must, especially if others are relying on me. But, if my whims don’t affect anyone but myself then I do as I want, when I want. Life, it seems has almost given up trying to push me in any direction as of late, it too seems quite happy with my ad hoc ways and I tend to live a very simple life as a result. Things happen around and to me but not in any great sways of drama or chaos.
