Beloved,
As I returned to my more natural routine of going to yoga on Tuesday morning, then my pitch league on Wednesday this week, I realized just how much I had missed the easy routine I had before we were inundated with all the snow and wind. I still have not gotten back to Church at the 5:30 Mass which I serve at but that is still to come (we have had snow storms for 5 weeks on Saturdays). We are creatures of habit because it doesn’t take any energy to do our habits, it just sort of falls into place. It is also much easier to make plans with others when you have your habitual activities down pat. You know just which day and what time you will be away from home and unavailable for a change in plans. Telling you this makes me aware of how rigid I have become. It is so much easier to just flow with the pattern than to have to keep readjusting.
Perhaps this is why the whole country has been in confusion with the turmoil of the weather. It certainly does wake us up to what we have been doing without even thinking about it. Even when it comes to meals, you have to be inventive because perhaps you have not been able to get to the grocery stores to get your favorite foods? We are a society that has the ease of running to the store if we need something rather than stocking up on the things we use most often. Even at the grocery stores, there are items that have not been able to be shipped because of the storms, the airlines not being able to fly and the strike that was at our seaports. This winter has taught me not to take anything for granted any longer. I just hope this AHA moment stays with me as I want to be aware and grateful for ALL that I DO have and that I allow myself to flow with the changes more easily and with less resistance. What we resist persists!
Much to my amazement, Spirit Library carried a few of the predictions that more change is to come and to encourage us to be allowing. Tell you what! Let’s help ourselves and the world by being more willing to accept the change.
This is the kind of change I want to see. It is so uplifting to actually see the world changing and becoming one species on one planet.
