Be the Boat

Sometimes everything just clicks. No struggle, no strain; just serendipity.

(Sometimes everything sucks, but let's not go there today. It's summer, I just got back from the beach, and I'm in the mood to share some grace and ease!)

Sometimes things are easy. People show up on time, and with flowers! The 12-items-or-less line in the store has only one person in it, and he has 12 items or less! Your hamburger arrives with an extra pickle, and you didn't even have to ask! Ahh, life is good, as the t-shirts and hats and spare tire covers exclaim.

When things flow, let them go. Observe the easy movement and enjoy the feeling of moving forward without struggle.

Don't throw rocks in your rollicking stream, blocking the flow and forcing changes and alternative routes. (Why do we always do that, anyway?) Toss in a little boat made of bark and twigs with a leaf for a sail and watch it race away, easily swerving around whatever obstacles are already there, ducking under the water only to bounce back up and sail away again.

Be that boat. Let the water take you. Have faith that you're going in the right direction. Enjoy the ride.

No struggle, no strain, just serendipity.
