"THERE IS NO CONTROLLING LIFE. TRY CORRALLING A LIGHTNING BOLT, CONTAINING A TORNADO. DAM A STREAM AND IT WILL CREATE A NEW CHANNEL. RESIST, AND THE TIDE WILL SWEEP YOU OFF YOUR FEET. ALLOW, AND GRACE WILL CARRY YOU TO HIGHER GROUND. THE ONLY SAFETY LIES IN LETTING IT ALL IN--THE WILD AND THE WEAK; FEAR, FANTASIES, FAILURES AND SUCCESS. WHEN LOSS RIPS OFF THE DOORS OF THE HEART, OR SADNESS VEILS YOUR VISION WITH DESPAIR, PRACTICE BECOMES SIMPLY BEARING THE TRUTH. IN THE CHOICE TO LET GO OF YOUR KNOWN WAY OF BEING, THE WHOLE WORLD IS REVEALED TO YOUR NEW EYES."
Great words.
ReplyDeleteLife will have its way. Nature will continue to be what it is...consistent and ever-changing at the same time. We only need to see and listen to the reality and not cling to the false notion that man is in control... we are not.
ReplyDeleteI love the expression "higher ground". To me it's a place where the soul can find its way and see more clearly the path it must take.
The quote must be from a very interesting book.
truth.
ReplyDeleteWe all need to widen our lenses each day...sometimes I can forget this idea of focus ...but we or shall I need to remember this. Thank you for the reminder. Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
