There’s what’s happening.
And there’s what the mind wants to be happening.
Sometimes, the two align.
All is well then.
But more often,
they don’t.
Then, tension arises.
Perhaps even fear.
This is not how things should be!
The mind shifts into control mode:
What can we do?
How can we shape this moment / person / situation / experience
into our desired outcome?
Tension rises even more.
Why?
Because you can’t change what already is.
It already is.
And because you don’t control outcomes any more
than you control the movement of
planet HY763 three galaxies to the left.
It’s all Life,
moving.
Doing its thing in its own way,
for whatever reason,
if any reason at all.
No one knows.
Tension doesn’t dissolve by grasping for control.
It dissolves the moment you stop needing it to.
Love,
