Warmth and Light, Loving Universe!

Snow and fog fill the valley this morning.  I’m sipping my hot coffee and cozying under a down blanket.

The writing seems slow in coming, this morning.

I’m struck that this is an example of a struggle I typically face.  Like the writing this morning, there are often directions in my life that I wish to go; that I feel called to go.

But, then it doesn’t flow.  I don’t find the current; I find resistance.

And, there I am, right back to thinking my old thoughts – “You have to grind it out; no pain, no gain; nothing worthwhile ever comes easily.”

Those thoughts, though, feel opposite what feels to me like the truth – that when I follow my calling and walk my path, there will be an ease and flow to it.  That it will feel full, good, and light.  Simple, and free.

At this point, I wonder if I need to trust and believe even deeper.  An image comes to mind, of the parachute, or set of wings, that can’t fully deploy and catch me until I am fully committed to the fall.

 

I got out for a short run yesterday, which my body and mind both needed.  I was given a couple exciting ideas that I intend to grow.

One was to wonder if it’s possible for me to completely flip how I imagine and plan things.  I realized that I look for problems to solve, spending my energy in the land of struggle, challenge, and crisis.

Maybe I haven’t fully opened to the flow.  Am I holding myself back?  Do I see resistance simply because that’s the frequency I’m tuned in to?

 

Here’s a Prompt for your consideration:

Dear One, I am reminded of my first trip overseas, for our honeymoon.  Initially, I was filled with apprehension, thinking of all that could go wrong, and so much worse that I couldn’t even imagine.

My wife is different – she was excited.  Not that she believed everything would be perfect, or that she didn’t plan; but, she saw our trip as opportunity.

Embracing the joy of the adventure is about finding the current, and trusting our own ability to adapt and create in each moment.

Is there a place in your life, Dear One, where you are holding back, because all you are seeing are the risks?  What will you receive if you take that journey – risks and all?  Who will that make you?  Who will that allow you to become?
