Life Happens 11/21/2005 6:29:36 PM
I've always been interested in the big picture. You know, the forest not the trees. I've always seen the big picture like a piece of artwork before my eyes. It's been obvious to me, however, I'm continually surprised at how few people there are who look at life the same as I. Perhaps that 'big picture' consciousness makes me different than you or you different from others. It's what gives me or you a talent for seeing into hearts and reading another's sincerity.
When you look at life as a 'big picture' you also see it differently. You don't get lost in the minutia of day to day activities but see it as if from a new perspective. Life isn't forced upon any of us - life happens. Living a life in tune with the universe gives it a natural flow. A rhythm that transcends all we know and and beats to the heartbeat of the Creator. Trying to move against the flow only brings despair and sorrow for it is in the flow that we derive all wisdom and with the flow life is peaceful and calm.
Life happens if you allow it to happen. Life flows if you allow it to flow. Life expands if you allow it to expand. Once you understand this basic premise you can allow life the freedom to be, to express itself, and to bring you along for the ride. It is a paradym shift in thinking but gives enormous rewards to the one who accepts the challenge of its ever broadening vista.
It's important to pay attention to the details of life but not at the expense of the 'big picture'. When you get lost in the details you then find yourself drifting away from the flow and that natural rhythm is disturbed causing chaos and havoc in an otherwise peaceful world. You become unbalanced and begin to see life as difficult and painful and develop a spiral downward into the void of discouragement. Your life cannot grow but can only stagnate, grow weeds, and die.
Life happens if you allow it to happen. Life is if you allow it to be. Life enchants the awakened individual and leads them into a tomorrow of wonder. It is our choice as to the direction and speed we travel but the rudder is set by the energy of the universe, the feeling of its pulse, and the ever expanding beauty of its innermost thoughts.
