Mind Petals Magazine – January 2008
Peace Mind Petalers,
How many of you own a calculator? Well whether you own one or not, so many of us find ourselves attempting to calculate every situation — trying to figure out and reduce things to their minutest details… to the point of exhaustion.
We believe that this intense calculating will lead us to an understanding, a breakthrough. Because in order to attain something, we must work “hard,” right? No. Because we can easily — without even knowing — calculate ourselves out of success entirely. And who wants that?
Sometimes the best thing you can do is just continue flowing on, sliding forward without stopping to consider every possibility or every inevitable hiccup that arises. Don’t become complacent, but also don’t become obsessed with the details.
There’s a beauty in the mystery. As light shines through a tree, it produces (or projects) a disorderly and stochastic pattern of shade. And in this randomness, there is no calculation. No consideration of how/why the light shines through the leaves. It’s just created and presents itself.
Whatever it is that you are pursing, remember to be that same light cutting through the leaves, leaving yourself open to randomness and the mystery of what will be projected.
