Trusting the Flow

Duncan's photo, "light wave" and his comment,
"relaxing into the great unknown...
knowing only that it is always in motion"
made me think of floating on my back down a river, willing to let the flow of the water take me wherever it would, trusting that I'd always be safe. You can't always count on that in a real river, but you can in the river of life. We're most at peace and we make the fastest progress when we give ourselves to the motion of the flow, trusting that wherever it takes us is good. Dancing is the same and is also a great metaphor for life. When I dance there are moments when I let my body go its own way, following a flow of energy through a channel that only my soul knows. I have to turn off my brain and trust that the movement I'm in is just the right thing at just the right time. And in those moments I am truly relaxing into the great unknown, riding the light wave. It's so cool!

Thank you, Duncan.
