What Happens Next



We live the lives we have made for ourselves. We live the lives others have had made for us by rules they have made and actions they have taken. We move forward with as much grace and reserve as we can muster.  Almost instinctively we know the rules of the people we have lived with and what is normal in the circles we inhabit.  Still no matter how perfect our worlds may seem we have within us something that always calls out for something different, for change. 

Me, I don’t know why my voice inside is so judgmental.  Still, even with knowledge that so much of what happens is not in my control, I feel judgment’s sting.  When you add on behaviors of third parties, spouses, lovers, children, friends and even strangers the discomfort can grow oh so wearying.

It is important to still the internal voices by accepting both the good and the bad that the moment has placed before us.  Be open to all possibilities. Think of the cascading variants of the universe that could happen with the next action we take, and then step appropriately. We must free our minds accepting the possible and rejecting all the excess weight that other’s in this world try and burden us with.
