JUST DON'T DO IT

I am learning that trying to do or be or change is not only exhausting but also unnecessary. There is a power a clarity a peaceful progression in just not doing not trying not focusing on what I think I need to do or be. This way of being is so counter culture to the society I live in and the way I was raised. But it feels right to me because I want to go beyond who I am. I want to grow. I truly believe that humans are similar to trees, flowers, nature in general. We do not have to make ourselves grow. My infant self is not responsible for my getting taller, my hands growing bigger. As a ponder how much involvement I had as an infant in my development, I cannot help but notice that it was my vulnerability and my dependance that led to my growth. Isn’t it true that you learn the most when you are young. Unfortunately, sometimes what you absorb is not always the most effective pathway to peace. But this idea, the concept of absorbing rather than controlling is no less valid. As an adult, I want to embrace the wisdom of God/dess, the Universe, and Mother Nature. I want to sit by the river, sipping tea, savoring the fruit from the trees, and leaving the tree of knowledge to what lies beyond my understanding—so that I may live in ecstasy.
