Maintain controL...

Trying to maintain controL in this Life is a bit Like trying to maintain controL on a roLLer coaster...
The ride has its own Logic and is going to go its own way,, regardLess of how tightLy you grip the bar... There is a thriLL and a power in simpLy surrending to the ride and fuLLy feeLing the ups and downs of it,, Letting the curves take you rather than fighting them…
When you fight the ride,, resisting what’s happening at every turn,, your whoLe being becomes tense and anxiety is your cLose companion…
When you go with the ride,, accepting what you cannot around,, freedom and joy wiLL inevitabLy arise…
We can give in to our fear and anxiety,, or we can surrender to this great mystery with courage…
When we see peopLe on a roLLer coaster,, we see that there are those with their faces tight with fear and then there are those that smiLe broadLy with their hands in the air,, carried through the ride on a wave of freedom and joy...
This powerfuL image reminds us that often the onLy controL we have is choosing how we are going to respond to the ride...

Today I humbLy ask Mr. Creator for the grace to find the space between my impuLse and my action..
To Let fLow a cooLing breeze when I wouLd respond with heat…
To interrupt fierceness with gentLe peace…
To accept the moment which aLLows judgement to become discernment..
To defer to siLence when my tongue wouLd rush to attack or defend…
I promise to watch for every opportunity to turn toward my higher power for guidance…
I know where this power is,, it resides within me,, as cLear as a mountain stream,, hidden in the hiLLs…
I thank Mr. Creator for this world of Light and truth I see when I aLLow it to direct my vision…
I trust it today and hope ir trusts me to make aLL effort to find the right thought and action today…
