messy

Maybe there isn't a pattern.
Maybe it's just life,
unfolding in its own messy way.

yoke

It isn't always up to you.

How liberating that is.

stillness

That might be the even greater challenge for you.

self-critique

It often isn't necessary.

With each action you take, you don't have to analyze what prompted it or where it stemmed from. You don't need to attempt to fix or correct.

Perhaps you can just humbly recognize that the analysis often doesn't bring you closer to clarity or progress. Rather, it often moves you further from it.

Trust yourself to act and evolve as you need without any need to try to control that process.

pleasure

"We are so caught up in purpose that we would feel more comfortable if God shared our preoccupation with work, but God plays."

          - Brother David as quoted in Let Your Life Speak

from green kitchen travels]

maybe

Maybe the quickest route isn't the one you ought to be seeking after all.

Maybe the route you need is the one that leaves room for wonder and enjoyment.
