Going for a Ride

It's easy to get overwhelmed.  My head is full of contingencies, swirling with what I should be doing, or where I should be or how I should organize my day, vacations, time alone.  It's easy to feel that way when I forget the truth, and think I am all alone, in control by myself.

The tiny, petty, "little" me sweats over the inconsequential, plotting desperately for plans in advance about what to do and who or when to do it with.  That person has forgotten the deeper, truer reality about who she is - that she is never abandoned or alone.  All that swirling of thoughts and concerns has no consequence.   Because we are never abandoned; we don't have to be in control. 

It's time to stop tormenting ourselves with plans and worries that don't matter, about tomorrows we cannot control.  The brain rot of small mind is of no consequence.  Its tendency is to cling, shrink, become very small.

Today I remember to relax, to erase every worry, to be at ease.  More than ease - today I revel in peace. 

Let's let ourselves be moved then.  Let's go for the ride.
