Musing…
Ever plan and prepare only to experience life taking a turn, so you don’t get to see it through? Well, this is what makes life interesting, right? Staying open to possibility and remaining flexible and positive can segue into something even better sometimes.
This is the beauty of the Buddhist notion of impermanence: we might suffer a loss as things keep changing, but also at times, we love to know that “this too shall pass”. Accepting what comes our way (not necessarily agreeing or liking it sometimes!) and keeping our heart open to process it ongoing can energize us rather than deplete us.
Kate’s Turn:
This is how I felt regarding the Summer Follies party I was preparing for. Life throws us a curve, plans change, and boom! We switch gears, and keep on keepin’ on. But not a problem….the creative juices were running, I got to a place of folly instead of worry, and hey! I’m ready for the next party invite. I think the host said something about Winter Follies, as the timing didn’t work this time around. I can let my plans simmer and stew some more to see what might evolve.
Get Fired Up:
How do you deal with the unexpected, especially when it may be disappointing rather than a pleasant surprise?
Can you embrace all of what life has to offer and trust harvesting the richness of life through the process? How does your creativity kick into gear when plans go awry?
