The Flow!!

Let us permit nature to have its way; she understands her
business better than we do.

Michel de Montaigne



The Taoist religion is one of the simplest paths to God. It advises, Just be what you are. You do not need to change yourself to be divine. You are created of spirit, and to be powerful and happy, simply let nature take its course.

Good post. I think of natures wisdom especially with the life/death cycle. It is so scary sometimes to think about and deal with-but perfect and right according to nature.

So I must accept and go with the flow of life, and death.

Lovely Oki, just what I needed to read. I'm under a lot of pressure and very fearful of some things that are actually something to be fearful about. But I have put in the appropriate actions and now can influence diddly squat about the outcome, so I say the 3rd step prayer both out loud and in my head and also in many different visualisations and the likes of what you posted every day. Doesn't always work but also does work sometimes.

And I love the Taoist quote. Because I'm on a disability pension because of illnesses, I often feel like just one big mistake and a waste of space. But occasionally I'll get good feedback for something I've said or done. I'm not depending fully on others for my "locus of control" but it is nice to have positive interactions with the Human Race.

I am glad we have some morals and imagining how humans would interact based on their natures isn't a nice picture. On the other hand it would be nice not having to weed the yard all the time.
