There are many, many crossroads in life, and the choices that accompany them – an infinite number, really – are too many to comprehend. Kinda gives one a headache, or an anxiety attack. So on any given day, we have a choice! We can question our every move, and examine everything that presents itself, or, we can go with the flow.
Water naturally goes with the flow. So, from water’s standpoint, we should do the same. Do we dare?
Yes, we do!
Look to the lowly weed and its outstretched leaf as it presents a drop of rain in perfect balance. No choice necessary. Just ~ let ~ go!
To resist, or let life flow on? If you need to, hold your breath. But hurrah, if you don’t feel the need to overthink it.
It strikes me that this drop of water, reflecting an intimate world, is balanced on the cusp of movement. It is the perfect way this weed can illustrate the suspense we all feel before we take the next step. Before the next crossroads is…crossed.
This is the thrill we get from the delicate balancing act that is living.
To drop, or not to drop? That’s not the question, it’s when.
A dear friend today passed on a pearl of wisdom to me, “Go with the flow.” We all can use a reminder like that to keep us on track. Thank you V!
And thank you weed, for illustrating this simple truth so generously.
Please come back tomorrow for a new “Weed Image of the Day” and let me know which ones you like.
We and our weeds are so much more than what we first appear to be.
