You cannot control your life.  You can barely control your thoughts.  The idea that you can control what happens holds you as a prisoner.  When things happen that are beyond your control it is like a slap in the face.  You now face a choice.  You can resist, or you can say, “Isn’t that interesting!”  Which feels better? In a state of resistance, most likely limited choices present themselves.  Fresh ideas try vainly to bubble to surface awareness through so much constriction and stale thoughts.  In a state of neutral observance brought about by phrases such as “Isn’t that interesting,” you are free to simply be.  And in that state of just be-ing, who knows what will arise in awareness?  Anything, including new insights.  That, dear one, is freedom.  Relax.  Breathe.  Be.  Free. 

You are so very loved.
