I plead guilty on spending a significant part of my life
dividing things up between good or bad...
interesting or not interesting...
based purely on snap judgments.
You might call it a survival mechanism...
a way to manage all the data coming in...
(especially from outside sources
bidding for my attention);
way too much to absorb quickly;
It's been humbling to realize this.
Humbling and rewarding to discover a different way.
To let go of managing everything.
To let go of needing immediate clarity.
To allow things some time to permeate;
to trust in the unfolding.
To remember valuable things will circle back
over and over until I recognize them.
To be ok with not knowing the next step
and being confident I'll know it when it appears.
To be ok with making mistakes and making messes.
To get the demanding overlord to stand down.
May we remember to live our
"dynamic relationship with everything else."
Namaste'
