Wherever I am, there's always a context - the tiny part of the universe that, at that moment, I am relating to most directly. I'm never completely separate from it. As soon as I draw a breath in, I am connected in an intimate, and existential way, with the world around. Even if I'm asleep.
Sometimes it's a calm and simple world, other times, much more complex or agitated. But there's always a rhythm, a flow, that arises from the energy moving around - animate and inanimate alike - and how I relate to it. The sooner I sense and align with the rhythm, the sooner I feel present and in the flow. This doesn't mean that I'm passively floating along - I'm part of it - I contribute to the rhythm. Sometimes I can affect it a lot, sometimes hardly at all - but always I'm much more able to positively affect the flow around me if I'm deeply connected with it. Then I'm shaping and creating with it. Otherwise, I'm just mindlessly disrupting the flow, generating discord and stress.
Aligned with the flow, I feel content and free to choose my actions. The rhythm changes, and I move with it, dancing life.
