December 26, 2020--Trusting the River
When we fail, we think that we aren’t good enough
to realize our dreams. So we give in. We conform.
We find a job or a relationship that offers us security.
Yet the truth is we didn’t trust enough.
We didn’t have enough faith in ourselves or in others.
We tried to control. We insisted on doing it our way.
We got scared and moved out of the creative flow of life energy.
Life was not against us. We were not willing to trust life.
We didn’t like the direction the river was flowing in
and decided to swim the other way.
Then, we got tired and gave up.
We can blame the river. We can blame ourselves.
But neither of these strategies is helpful.
Instead we need to learn from our experience,
see our errors and correct them.
We need to learn to swim with the current.
We need to trust the river and see where it takes us.
