Being Like the Water

Hearing Barbara Horton’s song lyrics about wanting to be like the water reminded me of my own recent experience alongside Tonto Creek near Payson, AZ. Barbara’s sentiments went further, and I deeply resonate with them:

I want to be like the water flowing
Never questioning, always knowing
Exactly what it is I’m here to do.

Abundantly receiving, giving
A contribution to life along the way.

Especially in these days of Rog and I making big changes, releasing, dropping attachments, as we work toward creating our new life in northern Arizona, we so want to be clear what it is that God would have us do, would have us be.

I want to trust Spirit with all my heart and simply know The Plan, and not question nor resist Spirit’s will for me. When I do that, life is joyful, abundant, and I am of great service to others.

I am like the water flowing
Never questioning, always knowing
Exactly what it is I’m here to do.

Abundantly receiving, giving
A contribution to life along the way.

Life Guidance

I’m glad to be out again studying philosophy and life with a group of people.

Last week I started a brief class on the Bhaghavad Gita and another one on Spiritual Economics: The Principles and Process of True Prosperity by Eric Butterworth.

The Gita presents, in seven-hundred verses revered as a sacred scripture of Hinduism, a handbook for Self-realization and a guide to action. In it, Krishna, an incarnation of God, instructs on the nature of the soul and its relation to God, the levels of consciousness and reality, the makeup of the phenomenal world, etc. It points the way on how to achieve freedom and peace within.

In Spiritual Economics, Eric Butterworth reminds us in straightforward, non-theological language that we have the power and the means within us to live abundantly. We can work with the flow of life instead of against it, develop a prosperous attitude about money, health and love, and maintain our inner focus on affluence.

Hinduism and New Thought literature - each fascinating, providing insight into living life, and just the kind of works I enjoy reading.

I did not receive much guidance when I was growing up, but I’ve fared pretty well in many aspects of my life and known joy. And, always I can tap into a richness of knowledge to study, and interact with people who have the learning and the experience, and are willing to share it. I am not alone. I am grateful.
