There is no controlling life.

 

Try corralling a lightning bolt,

containing a tornado. Dam a

stream and it will create a new

channel.  Resist, and the tide

will sweep you off your feet.

 

Allow, and grace will carry

you to higher ground. The only

safety lies in letting it all in - the

wild and the weak; fear

fantasies, failures and success.

When loss rips off the doors of

the heart, or sadness veils your

vision with despair, practice

becomes simply bearing the truth.

 

In the choice to let go of

your know way of being, the whole

world is revealed to your new eyes.
