Honoring our original nature
and our innate virtues/specialties
is finding our stride,
our flow--
the flow of life--
and being sensitive to 
what needs to happen
(And needs not to happen)
in each situation as it arises,
and waiting for the propitious moment
when the time is right for it to happen
(Or not happen),
so that we move with the circumstances
as they shift and change
throughout our day.

This is quite different 
from having a plan
and implementing it with precision
in order to do/achieve what we want
to happen
throughout the day,
with our lists of things to do
and a time table for getting it done.

The times themselves have priority
over our wants and needs.
Knowing what time it is
and what it is time for
are different things.

Divorcing ourselves from our 
day-timers 
and our schedules
is opening ourselves to 
the flow of life
and the requirements for life,
and the time to sense 
what life is asking of us
here/now,
moment-to-moment
throughout each day.

It is a different way of life,
and one we have to accommodate ourselves to
in learning to listen to our body
and see what is happening
on all levels of each situation
that comes our way,
and responding appropriately
to what is being called for
in the times as they unfold before us
from day to day.
