Flow vs Control

My partner said to me last night that "In order to get in the flow, we need to let go of control." Brilliant!! So I wrote that down right away. It was at whatever time in the wee hours of the morning that she said this. So considering the last time I did not write it down and forgot it by the time morning came along, I thought that I would write it down. Still sounds profound to me.

So often we are desperately trying to control the things and people around us just to feel safe and secure that we get completely out of the flow of the universe. So I woke up this morning and saw that the weather is really kind of nasty and went through about 5 minutes of self-grumbling because I now have to wear pants instead of my summer shorts, and then it hit me! Like a ton of bricks it was! I don't need to be put out by the weather because I don't need to control it in any way! As a shaman I am trained to influence the weather, yes, but I don't have to! And I don't have to do that in order to have a wonderful day no matter what the weather may be! Whew! One less thing for which I need to be responsible!

So now I can get on with having an excellent day and I can do so no matter what the freaky weather is doing! I hope all of you out there are able to do the same.

Blessed Be
