"Be crumbled.
So wild flowers will come up where you are.
You have been stony for too many years.
Try something different.
Surrender." - Rumi

You know that “bad” feeling you get when you say to yourself (or out loud)”I told you so” or “I knew it!” Another, softer way of interpreting that experience is: “hmmm.. I guess I CAN trust myself” or “I do have a wise inner voice after all”.

These small shifts could be thought of as tiny but mighty habits strong enough to “crumble” the stony tunnel of our narrow view; we can only see one way. There’s not room to turn around and look again so we surround ourselves with our one and only version of how it is, how it was, and just how good it can get. (essentially, we misfile our past experiences into the folder marked “future”.)

Meditation and therapy allow us to re-interpret the events of our lives. Self-trust and new vocabulary gentles our view.

Eventually, we can see what’s REALLY surrounding us - graceful guidance, not “failure” or “success”, eternal goodness, not “bad” or “good” luck.

(wild flowers become absolute proof of unconditional love)

I might start singing “oh what a beautiful morning' soon so it’s probably best to sign off-ha ha.

Thanks for reading my post.
