Life is living us.
Sometimes in ways which we appreciate.
Other times we may find ourselves challenged and resist the flow of what is happening. That resistance can be felt in our physical body as tension, or dullness. Resistance can show up as emotions that don't feel so good. It also shows up in our mental body with thoughts like "this isn't how it's suppose to be" or "if only it were different in this (or that) way, then....."
Recently a dear friend turned me on to a band called Cloud Cult. I've been listening to a couple of their albums. I am enjoying their lyrics as well as their musical range. Here is an example of one of the lyrics I enjoy:
You know you are as small as the things you let annoy you.
And you know you are gigantic as the things that you adore.
Some days you give thanks.
Some days you give the finger.
It's a complicated Creation.
We are all both gigantic and small. We are all creating.
Whether you've been giving thanks, or giving the finger or a little of both, perhaps it's all okay just as it is. Nothing is broken or wrong, you just have circumstances (internal and/or external) to navigate.
If we don't like the results, we can course correct, choose another approach and see what happens.
Play with it. What have we got to lose?
I InterPlay to develop the muscles of playing with what arises, to develop the muscles of curiosity and inquiry, to develop the muscles of holding things lightly, to develop the muscle of dancing through life. It's not that these are the right qualities and other qualities are bad. It's that these qualities lead to results that I prefer, with more creativity, ease and freedom. And if I want more of the results I prefer, I need to create the conditions where those preferred outcomes are more likely to happen. Playing is the best way I've found to to develop a body groove for Grace.
