A Bit of Wisdom from a Tribal Elder…

In Memoriam – Rest In Peace Beloveds – Altar/Photo by Toni Roberts

I have finally learned that when I do not know what to do…

To do nothing…

In the past…whenever I impatiently pushed forward out of restlessness…uncertainty…fear…doubt or confusion…

Not really knowing WTF…

I wound up ultimately creating just another dead-end of darkness, uncertainty and confusion…

All over again…

It took me all of these years in the School of Hard Knocks…to finally get it…

I now know to sit and breath into the empty gap between what was…and what will be…in calm equanimity…while accepting the Ego’s discomfort…

Until…eventually…the next experience unfolds…naturally…organically…in…as…and through me…

Without the schemes…plans…and self-profiting manipulations of the Ego…

Bottom line: every thing…every person…every circumstance…every event….every situation in our lives…just as it is…has come to pass…and will pass…on its own…and all we have to do…as we used to say in my day…

Is chill…
