Don’t have a plan! By all means, do not have to have a plan! All thought out from every angle, the brain child of reason and logic, carefully crafted and put into place. What does logic know of psyche? Do they ever talk shop and trade secrets over coffee and donuts? Nod in passing? Attend conventions? Live on the same street? What does day have to do with night, or high tide with low? Did we think our way to here, now, or was it magic at work in our life? “Darkness within darkness, the gateway to mystery!” That is the way at the world works, no? The way life goes? Who knows from one moment to another what’s now? What’s next? It is more on the order of “Here we are, now what?” Wait and see. Look for what is called for. See where it leads. The future is opening up all around us. Upon what choice does our fortune ride? What would logic determine? What would psyche say? “Columbus took a chance,” as the old saying goes. What did Columbus know that said, “This, now!”? What do we know, here, now? How do we know what we know? How do we know when to listen to what we know and when to let it go? Who do we listen to when we listen to what we know? Who knows what we need to know? Whom do we trust to know what, when, where, how? What guides our boat on its path through the sea? What brought us here, now? What do we trust with our next choice, our next step? When we listen what do we listen to? What, whom, directs our steps along the way? How do we know they, it, knows what they, it, are doing? What made Adam and Even think they knew what they were doing? Did they even stop to ask the question? Did they think to take it into the silence to see what might arise there? Come to light there? As a soft, small voice? A dim, flickering flame? Offering knowing, clarity to those who look, listen?
