We impose our will
for our life
upon our life
at our own risk.
This is the true nature
of the "Fall" in the Garden of Eden.
Adam and Eve decided
they knew what was good for them
and ignored the inner guidance
of their own hearts.
And, "Boom!", as John Madden might say,
here we are.
We have Big Ideas
about how we want our life to be.
And it takes a lifetime
of regret and remorse
for us to see what we have done.
The good news is that we can
get out of the way
and link back up
with the source
of internal guidance and direction
at any point along the way.
But.
There is a catch.
We have to hand over
control of our life
to the inner source of life within.
Sounds spooky, I know, but.
This is Right Brain stuff,
and it doesn't follow
the rules of reason and logic.
Our place is that of learning
how to "talk" to our Right Brain.
That requires us to spend time
with emptiness/stillness/silence,
learning about
focusing/felt sense/intuition/dreams
in order to be equipped
to find the way that is our way
through what remains
of the time left for living.
