Fight, fight all persistent fantasies of receiving passively. A simple truth: The things that put one in contact with life are good, and those that separate from the reality of life are best avoided or kept in extreme moderation (this finite, flesh-born life, expressed only in material fact by this very moment). Breathing in, again and again, our origin.
Are you taking action through taking steps or taking off, going through this phase and visiting that place? If so, it’s worth reflecting: how often are you really engaging with the world beyond yourself? Sometimes, we claim action (self-image of ourselves as an interaction hero) when actually we are more rephrasing and repositioning our invitation to be acted upon! Placing ourselves at a different angle, in a new climate - then believing within ourselves that our working part is rightfully done and so we resume a lifestyle of guilt-free waiting for possibilities to storm upon us. Much to our detriment, and we age restlessly stillborn.
Prayer, we may finally discover, is a necessary ingredient but rarely is it advisable to think of it as a dish unto itself. Oh Lord, oh world, I pray for inspiration like a tailwind! Self-willed action wedded to intuitive intentions - honing whatever outside energies and spices may be available. Oh tailwind, I love and embrace you when I am lucky enough to feel your presence, but let me not be fooled into switching off my engines when you bless me with your strength.
