Going with the Flow

/

I was a career planner. I helped others plan their tomorrows. I planned my own as well. My sister Bernadette used to say, "You dream, you plan, you do." That was certainly true for much of my life. Now, I feel more inclined to go with the flow. I no longer have clients whose financial independence I help project. My estate plans are in place. I have enough resources left to live a simple life. For now, I am sharing another's home. Soon, I will share our remodeled photo studio with family. I will be an occupant rather than a provider, a role that feels unfamiliar, yet surprisingly comfortable. I do not know what tomorrow will bring.

 Much of what lies ahead is beyond my control. The universe will unfold as it will. Rather than resisting that reality, I find myself accepting it. And it is good.

There is a simplicity and purity in being present. In accepting what is. In connecting right here, right now—with nature, with family, and with the quiet rhythms of my small world.

 I have also learned the significance of LOVE.

I try to live LOVE as fully as I am able. When I do, it feels natural. Less like effort and more like flow. As though something deeper than thought is guiding me. My Inner Wisdom seems to know the way, even when my mind does not.

The stream does not struggle to find the river. It simply follows its nature. Perhaps that is what I am learning to do. To trust the current.

To live the moment. To let LOVE carry me downstream toward whatever grace awaits
