This is No Pause

This is no pause

We pause in speech, we pause a movie, but this, this is no pause. 

For when this is over, things will not recommence as they were.

The fact is, they never do. 

They always change.

It’s all that is ever happening.

Progressive change.

Just as the river continuously flows downstream towards the ocean,

so too, the laws of nature, through us, continuously moves in the direction of greater sophistication, to greater happiness, to wholeness.

Such is the evolutionary journey downstream.

The change IS happening. The river IS flowing downstream.

The choice IS ours. The change IS ours.  

Do we resist, fight the change and swim upstream?

Or do we head off downstream with only what still serves us

and leave behind what is no longer relevant (old patterns, old behaviours)?

The journey isn’t always easy, but it is made easier when we move in accordance with the laws of nature

and surrender to the possibility that even when the journey downstream is bumpy and out of our control

there might be some good in it somewhere and be open to acknowledging, feeling and embodying that goodness.

Let us swim together heart open, gently and with courage.
