The VW ROAD TRIP

So, this life is a continuous cercal. It’s amazing to me how it starts and even more interestingly, how it all ends.

This life is filled with patters. Patterns that have been set into motion and will always be in motion; whether we choose to acknowledge them or not.
Think about your first moments in this life….

It all began with an unexpected slap to your ass; and life has been beating us up ever sense.

But most commonly, we confuse where to place the blame.
Our problem isn’t life itself. It is a beautiful thing. Even if you disagree with this positive concept, no one cares. You didn’t have a choice. You were born.
But life’s unexpected turns, highs, and even lows, are not our problem.

I once heard a wise man make reference to the birds when addressing this concept. It’s a common thought, but one few of us truly embrace.

“Look at the birds, how they don’t fret about what they will wear, what they will eat, where they will go or live. And how beautifully they live!”

They trust the existence to take care of them; the laws that are already in motion.

To acquire the art, or better said, the discipline to live in the moment without regret or hesitation can be a powerful thing; possibly the secret to true happiness.

But it goes against our nature. That negative nature that was here from the beginning. The nature of self. Us. Taking care of number one. Worrying about where we will end up. Preparing for our future.

Can one really do that? Another man said, “We make plans like fools, when God decides where we will go”.

Whether I believe in God, or Christ, or Buddha, isn’t the point. There is an undeniable force that is already in motion when we showed up. That is not going to change.

Worry is a powerful thing. It is so harmful. It takes our focus off of the here and now; what we are exploring; to a place somewhere in our future that may or may not exist.

So let us continue to try and comprehend the incomparable. Control the uncontrollable. Dictate the indictable. Fighting until we are out of breath.

Or?

Be.


You will be anyway.
