Sailing the Winds of Change

Lately, I've been imagining a state of being where I am fully present and fully flowing with my life as it happens around me. I imagine that I have finally given in to the flow and, like wind at my back, it is carrying me through this life and I am trusting that it will take me where I am supposed to go. I like this vision. It makes me feel safe.

I honestly don't know much about what history defines as enlightenment. I get the concept from a few brief reads here and there but I haven't read in depth about it. I've decided I don't care though because I've come to believe that enlightment is a self-defined state of consciousness where one feels at peace and at one with the flow.

I think that my vision is my defintion of enlightment.

I've been going through a lot of emotional changes. Many of these things I've explored in this space and have led to some of these changes. Many I have yet to explore here and I am sure I will in the future. What I am finding is that no matter the topic, I am making progress by expressing myself in this way.

I can hear that wind rustling the grass and blowing in the trees and am beginning to feel lighter.

The most interesting aspect of these changes so far has been how they have evolved my spirituality. For as long as I remember, I've been searching for that elusive Truth; the Truth that will answer all my questions so that I can live the rest of life not fearing death. That was the genesis of why I write in this space. This space is just another tool for me to use to get closer to that Truth. I think I actually thought it might be THE tool.

What I didn't realize at that time is that there is not ONE tool. There are more tools than I can ever find or possibly use. And I don't need to because the right tools will present themselves if I just believe in and trust the flow.

More importantly, I think that it is not about the Truth but about belief. The more I believe, relax into the wind, flow with my change and have gratitude for that, the more I am finding that God presents me with the tools that I need. It is not about seeking the Truth but about allowing these tools to be presented to me.
