Life’s like a jump rope: up down, up down, up down, up down. The trick is to enjoy the ups and be prepared for the downs. How can you be prepared? By being open and receptive – not by resisting but by “going with it.” The waves ride up and down; the tides come in and out; the seasons change; the volcano builds and explodes and new land is created. We are in motion! We are alive: the earth is alive, its inhabitants are living breathing thriving pulsing. It is how we work here on planet earth. Nothing is stagnant. You don’t want to be stagnant, do you? We sometimes feel that would make us happy: peace, quiet, calm. But that is not living, breathing, thriving, pulsing: that is death. We have much to do here – we can sleep when we need to but we can also dance when we want to. The snake lies dormant but then with the sunshine becomes active once again. Even the rocks change: even they are working, morphing, breaking down and rebuilding. Our civilizations build, thrive, and eventually die. We shift into new ways of doing things. Thank God/Goddess for that. Evolution is our goal. Learning, growing, becoming better and more understanding souls: becoming a better more understanding human race. Take time to sleep, yes, but remember, there is also time to build, celebrate, and procreate. This life is yours to live. Don’t miss it. Get out there and create something wonderful for yourself and mankind.
