Wisdom Walks In Circles:
Let Go and Jump In!
|
|
|
by Margaret Lewis |
|
|
Feeling your way through life is a learned response. It is a gut level embracing of the flow of life's energy, a disordering of our attempts to make sense out of all we experience.
Trusting in the unfolding nature of real living can be a foreign way of being. Experimenting with an unstructured way of moving through daily activities often creates resistance to any form of alleged chaos, which the mind feels compelled to put into order. However, even if for only one hour, giving up an obsessive fixation on your list of things to do, your planner, or your palm pilot can be a fun new method of mind control!
All this boils down to the practice of living in the present moment. When we are in the moment, we are existing and feeling the oneness of the universe. The past and future are the domain of the dual nature of the space/time components of physical life experience. The past and future can feel like boring prospects when compared to the beauty of the moment.
Lately, I've taken to watching my dogs' behavior and have observed the symbology of duality in their approach to a daily schedule. Cleo needs her structure and lives comfortably in the dual world. I like to compare her to the left side of my brain -- the rational, ordered, logical mode of thinking. Carly on the other hand, represents the moment to moment magic of the right brain. She loves the imagery that life brings in each sensation and feeling of the next new moment.
This past week I had my kitchen floors resurfaced. The hardwood was sanded to remove the old varnish and three coats of shiny lacquer were applied. The floors look fantastic and brand new again after fifteen years of wear. All through the process, Carly was curious by the sound of the sanding machines, the smell of the varnish and the plastic sheeting put up between the doorways. Cleo became increasingly agitated. By the week’s end, Cleo refused to come out of her crate in the mornings and growled at even those of us who love her so much! She was clearly disturbed in the disruptive change to her daily schedule, where Carly was fascinated. This same event elicited two different responses from my pets, which led me to perceive their behavior from purely the symbology it displayed.
Resistance to whatever life brings in the present moment is the source of our dismay and agitation. The present moment is always there, always presenting change and unfoldment, but our left brain, the order of Cleo, puts up so many defenses, whereas the right brains’ chaos of Carly embraces the fresh new moment with relish and wonder.
Why do we resist feeling our way through life? Why must we think and continually try to create order out of the chaotic flow of energy that the universe presents? Why must we continually feel the pain of resistance?
Let Go -- Jump In -- What are you waiting for? -- It's all right. -- Cause there's beauty in the breakdown. -- It's all amazing here!
These lyrics from "Let Go" by Frou Frou have played in my mind this past month. Excuse me, are you too busy writing your tragedy, she sings. There is so much beauty in the breakdown of the routine, the safe haven within the crate's four walls of a tragically ordered life. Explore the bubble wrap, and pop your pre-existing sideshow of a life! Let go for there is no time for later. You have only 20 seconds to comply! It's really all right -- jump, seek, find the beauty in the breakdown. These song lyrics free me and make me smile with each present moment.
