I took the picture above yesterday while I walked and took some time for silence at the beach. So beautiful, the waves alive and somewhat predictable making walking in the surf fun and easy. This evening when I went to the very same spot -well tried to go to the very same spot I could not even enter the beach! The hard crashing waves made the narrow entry to the beach completely off limits.

Yesterday I had thoughts of the waves being like situations in life with my desire being to know what to do in the waves or circumstances. I knew in my heart I could not really predict what the waves or life could be nor could I resist or manipulate them effectively.

Tonight when I arrived at the same place for a short peaceful beach walk and meditation I was met with the inability to even access the beach. This confirmed yesterday’s musings -punctuating the idea of allowing things to be and unfold rather than resisting and the beauty of letting go of things I cannot control.

I move more and more toward the tendency to allow life to unfold rather than resisting and controlling.

How relieving it is not to push against that which is best left to unfold.

Big Peace, Gina
