Change is in the Air

 

Treatment by Tim Phares, RScP

Change is in the air.  We’ve had several cloudbursts here, right in the middle of warm and dry days.  The political world gave us a major upset tonight as the House Majority Leader went down to an obscure college professor.  Whether it’s weather, politics, theatre, sports, or whatever, change is definitely in the air.

     How do we handle it?  Do we resist it?  Resistance is energy (ironically measured in “Ohms”), so when we resist, we simply add energy to what we’re resisting.  Do we simply sit and allow?  That opens the door to being overwhelmed by changes that perhaps are not for our highest and best and/or not the direction we want to go.  But we let ourselves go with the flow, rowing and paddling to manage it the entire time.  We don’t resist, we don’t sit back and crash on the rocks, we paddle.
     This morning on the radio on a talk show, I heard the host say that when I change my mind, the world changes.  When we choose to be happy, when that happiness comes from within, we make better choices.  Our worldview improves.  We’re more harmonious.  (If I mentioned the name of the host, you’d be really surprised, but he says this sort of thing a lot.)  This summer, he urged, let’s reset and restart.     So we simply choose to paddle, to restart, to be in the harmony, as we pray.
     The One Life is All There Is.  It is your life, it is my life.
     I know that as the One Life in expression, in form, I reflect what the One Life is — harmony, new beginnings, openings, opportunity, that is what I am.  Every moment is a restart, a reset, a new direction to paddle, an opportunity to sing harmony, or melody, and let my individual contribution reflect and enrich the entirety of the tune.  We are in tune with each other and with the stillness that is at the center of all the change.
     I accept this with deep gratitude.
     I know it’s done, I let it be done, and it is done.
     And SO it IS!
