If we aren't doing what we know must be done
because to fail to do so would be to betray
ourselves and our deep sense of what is right
and essential to us being true to ourselves
and failing to live in filial devotion
and liege loyalty to our own center,
and our grounding sense of direction and purpose,
we are off track and wandering lost and alone
in the trackless wasteland that goes forever.
There is only one thing to do:
Sit down and be quiet.
Seek the inner source 
of purpose and direction,
and wait for clarity to arise in the silence
with what we must do that cannot be explained,
justified, defended or excused,
but we know we must do it,
the way Captain Jack Sparrow knew,
"It's the pirate's life for me Gibbs.
I have no say in the matter! Savvy?"
(Pirates of the Caribbean).

Go there! Do that!

It is time we allowed our life to take control
of us and started doing things our life's way.
Our life has a life of its own.
Our life knows more than we do about what's what
and what needs to be done about it.

We have to allow our life to lead the way,
by being still and quiet and listening
to what it has to say.
