Water swirls in little pools, following currents. You often do the same, following patterns set before you, or pushed along by the patterns of others. At times you get stuck in little eddies, going round and round, repeating the same action until finally released to drift along freely. Then along comes another whirlpool, and you are sucked inside to go round and round yet again.
How do you break out of the cycle? By overcoming the lesser force with greater. There is always available to you a higher power that does not wish to see you struggle and feel trapped going round and round. Grab onto the branch being offered you and break free. Then you will flow. Flow imbued with this power, no longer fighting with your will upstream or stuck in the eddy, but floating in the same direction.
Now you are free, and isn’t this the most wondrous, peaceful, feeling to drift past the eddies or course right over them? This is who you are: part of the flow. You make the choice to be weak or powerful. In surrender to the full force, you will find the power.
