Diving into the uncertainty
Diving into the uncertainty
certainly is
uncertain.
Would we really desire
for it to be any other way,
really?
How boring
if everything
we set out to achieve
or receive
Came to us
with 100 percent
Certainty
and in the exact timing
we think we wish for it
to materialize.
It’s the human condition.
Whatever that is
exactly.
It’s also the human ill condition
to expect it to be otherwise.
Why are we
so at odds
with
what is?
I know I’m not the first one
I know I’ll not be the last
to make this observation
about the human condition
and how ill it is
and how ill we can be
made
by willing it
to be otherwise.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t
be
human
Would
we?
For your consideration:
Perhaps each of us gets in our own way, sitting and waiting for something to change by our sheer will. It’s not as simple as merely changing our thoughts, as so many may suggest. That’s a mind trick in the worst way. It’s more a matter of shifting our entire body and mind and energy systems and devoting them to changing course. Even, though, of course, there are no 100 percent guarantees. Many things can and still do happen along the way.
To use traversing by sea in a sailboat as a metaphor: You can’t simply “will” the boat to move in a certain direction. You can’t change your thoughts from “let’s go over here, instead of over there” and expect the boat to change directions solely based on your thoughts. You need to make the necessary adjustments to move the boat in the intended direction, taking into account all the elements including wind, water currents, and the seaworthiness of the craft. So, too, with your own vessel, in your own life.
Even then, there’s always uncertainty. That’s the thrill of the ride.
Okay, your turn:
Where and when have you spent undue amounts of focus and energy “willing” something into being? Would you say that it helped? If so, in what way? If not, what was it that kept you from letting it go and redirecting your life force in a way that was a more fully embodied commitment and ultimate shift?
