This picture perfectly reflects what can happen when travelling. If the unexpected occurs, try to go with the flow ! In meditation, we can ask ‘what lesson am I being shown?’ For example , when I took a tumble, I had to slow down and listen to my ‘shook up’ body, and accept offers of help. Unexpectedly, being the centre of attention and receiving kindness and support was healing. Like the huge locks our river ship went through, there was a flow, a release, and an UPLIFTING of my heart. I believe Spirit was showing the way we all are being ‘opened up’. We can all help each other heal and move through the blocks and locks of our journey.
To the degree that we look clearly and compassionately at ourselves, we feel confident and fearless about looking into someone else’s eyes. Pema Chodron
