The times they are a changin’ more rapidly than we have ever known in our lifetimes. How is that working for YOU? In my world, some days I am just struggling to stay upright – other days the sailing is relatively smooth. The problem for me becomes the point that I don’t know what to expect from one day to the next and I hate it when the rug gets pulled out from under my feet—it hurts to land smartly on my butt!
Many of us are learning that it is impossible to get too used to ANY decision or direction because in the blink of an eye it might not be appropriate anymore. Non-attachment is becoming so necessary, especially not being attached to any particular CHOICE we might make, so therefore you might say that the word of the moment is flexibility.
Reeds that bend in the breeze rarely break, but sticks that are rigid do, so better to bend with change than allow it to break you. This was demonstrated last week with the earthquake in Japan. The buildings there that were constructed with strong foundations and flexibility in their support structures actually swayed during the quake and were able to withstand the violent shaking that occurred. Those that lacked these things crumbled. What a metaphor for each of us. Build room for movement into every decision and choice you make going forward. The old times of duality are over. We don’t have to draw lines in the sand and choose either “this” or “that” anymore, but rather we can explore a wider range of options, and modify as we move along, crafting better solutions based on the input from the moment before.
For today—choose to be healthy, happy and WHOLE and surround yourself with peace and love. And so it IS!
