Submission to the inevitable is requisite for all who are willing to live in peace with mystery.
If we are willing to live with the mystery of what life hold for us, the only way to live it fully, walking into it, is to submit to the inevitable whether it be death, change or aging. These are big factors in my life right now.
One of our elders died last week and she has left a hole in our lives. She was a wisdom figure. Change is another that we must submit to. We cannot stop change. It all depends on whether we are pulled screaming into it or joyfully embracing it and walking with how the change could be. We have this choice. Aging is another factor. When I was much younger I could not wait to get older, to grow up. Today I want to say,"Slow down, aging!" you move too fast in my life. And yet we are only as old as our minds allow us to be. May I never reach my chronological age even if I live to be 100.
Today I am going to ponder, what else do I need to submit. Are there things in my life that I am resisting and cannot come to terms? Is there some area in my life I need to look into deeper?
What about you?
