Allow me to reiterate

I have not been feeling aligned with The Universal Flow the last few days. It's odd for me to feel off kilter to the point where I don't want to write about it.

Today after I filled in my Chapter 3 workbook for A New Earth (class tomorrow night), I was moved to go to the message boards and read the thoughts of others. Something funny happened on a thread titled, "Lost Ambition." It was about the feeling of how living in a way that allows us to breathe and be still and create space to let things happen can also mean letting go of what we always knew as ambition. That's tough for those of us who are driven and like control.

Someone on the board quoted from the book in response to a few of the posts. And, magically it seemed, it was a quote I had already noted on this blog (February 29) and needed desperately to be reminded of:

If uncertainty is unacceptable to you, it turns into fear. If it is perfectly acceptable, it turns into increased aliveness, alertness, creativity.

It know to the core of my being this is THE key for me to be fully present in my life.
