We spend our lives seeking safety, security, and then, one day, realizing it is an illusion. Embracing the uncertainty is the action. Stepping into the unknown and letting whatever happens, happen, while making right choices. Sure, there will be times of complete collapse, mistakes made, wrong choices, and the effects of those causes. Yet, to stand up, shake it off, and continue, ahhh...that's where the joy resides. That's where the money is.Getting quiet and swimming downstream is where all the good stuff sits waiting for us to experience. Going upstream like the salmon ain't it. It's finding relief and turning, resorting to the most natural inclination riding inside, and relaxing into it, and swimming. Not a fierce, choppy "get outta my way" pace, but rather, to glide to the rhythm of the Higher Self. "Follow your bliss," Joseph Campbell said. Asking the ego to work with us and not against us; to take the back seat in our vessel, sure, to come along for the ride, but as a passenger is to connect to Source, to Love, to Eternity, where we've been safe, anyway.
I'm currently teaching ESL and last night I began subbing a more advanced class for seven nights in December.The adults in this class speak strong English. I thought of my low-beginner class and realized one day they will be like them. I am on the journey with them because this is forcing me to strengthen my grammar and punctuation, too, and that will improve my writing, as well. I never thought of teaching ESL and yet, through my choices, this is where I am, and it is perfect in my progression.
