When moving forward feels like retreat

Anxiety, pressure, and confusion arise when we attempt to move more quickly than Divine timing. When we are out of step with Flow, peace eludes no matter how fervently we seek it. In fact, the more we ‘seek’ from this state, the more what we really need eludes us. Conscious decisions cannot be made - partly because we are not aligned, but also because the time to make them has not yet arrived. We cannot remain aware of our own path if we spend all our time trying to reach a mirage destination. Better to live from the precise moment: Now. And now. And now.

To get back in step with Flow, simply stop - stop trying, stop seeking, stop holding on. Address only what is immediately in front of you, and allow that image to reshape again and again. Accept what Is, as deeply as you are able. It may feel like retreat, like giving up. It may feel too simple to be right. But simple does not mean easy, and if this is challenging, direct your efforts into sinking into this way of living.


When we are in step with the Divine, work does not feel like work. Movement arises from stillness. We experience life from the heart, not the intellect. Daily life is perfectly timed to meet external demands while fulfilling our deep internal needs.

At the right time, the right opportunities will open. The choices that are truly ours bring a sense of peace, anticipation, and potential. As these are taking shape beneath the surface, turn your focus from seeking to softening, and allow God to mold you in Its own way.
