It's Easier than we think...



Sometimes I think I try to do too much. Wouldn't it be nice just to be?  What would that entail? We want so much.  And yet we have so much. There has to be some trick. Something I do not know. Something that will make it all easy.  Someone said that life was a play. Was it Shakespeare? And we are all actors. In that respect, I take it we are all acting.  I think we need to relearn what we have forgotten. Just take in a deep breath.  I can understand yogis who retreat from the world to try to understand it. We are all here to grasp and understand how we relate to the whole. And I do think it is supposed to be enjoyable and light.  I think that is the direction we are going.  We have let ourselves be influenced by so much. 

And yet I think we do need to take on some influence. Just not too much.  A dab of this and a dab of that...   We sometimes understand things better through the eyes of someone else.  And other times, others understand things through our own perspective.  But there is a thread of universalness that links us all to each other.  In that respect, we are all at the same time universal and unique.  The universal part of us wants and is linked to all others and the unique part of us is what we have to give or teach others.  We all have it regardless.  It is our own creativity, our desire to express what it is that is within us that we want to offer others.  Not everyone will resonate with it. But some will.

So there is no need to compete.  No need to judge.  Accept that it is all good.  Accept that everything and everyone has a gift for us, something to teach us, a little jewel of wisdom to share, an insight that will help us grow, enrich us...  We live in a magical universe where we are all gods.  The sooner we accept this role, the sooner we will live a life of ease and grace. We are mistaken, it is not about being difficult. The difficulty resides in the fact that it is so simple and easy.  And we complicate matters by thinking it difficult.
