Today we celebrate Canada Day and I for one appreciate being in this country. I have no idea why I ended up here instead of some of the places in the world where life is much more difficult, but I did and I'm grateful.
My life has had some sad times, some happy times, some loss, some gain, some insanity, some calm and I have no idea really why it has been as it has or where it's going but it is, so I rejoice and appreciate what is.
In the end that's all I can do because as much as I may plan or think things are heading a certain direction I've lived long enough to know that life has its own plans and I either go with the flow or I resist and make myself unhappy. I know that sounds fatalistic and it is in a way. I don't think that whatever I am experiencing in the moment is what I am fated to experience the rest of my life, I just see that there is a tapestry being woven that is beyond my ability to comprehend as to how its all happening and that my personality is simply not in control of it.
I even let go of the idea I can manipulate the world and its events with my thoughts about it. I simply don't know what will be so instead of catastrophizing or trying to convince myself things will turn out the way 'I' want I remind myself that I simply don't know what things mean or where it's all going. I just do what appears as mine to do and rest in knowing that the Universe in doing what it is supposed to as well. There's an amazing peace and freedom that comes of this realization and I am grateful for that too as well as everything else life is offering up in any given moment.
Namaste Eh!
