“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.” ― Alan W. Watts
Change is usually difficult and you'd think by now I'd know that the best way to maneuver it would be to stop fighting the changes and just go with the flow, but it seems it is my life's mission to learn the hard way.
Possibilities:
Where in your life do you need less struggle and more flow?
Show us a time when you allowed yourself to go with the flow.
Free write for ten minutes around one of the two sentences above or what flow/ing means to you.
Word Prompts:
slide
emanate
continuation
pressure
rhythm
Music for your Muse:

Two of my passions, photography and doodling/coloring. Thank you!
DeleteI'm not one to just lay back and take it, so to speak. I am horrible with change. I like to know what is going to happen, no surprises. I like the known over the unknown. I can't defend myself against what I don't know. My biggest struggle is trust and, I guess, this is because I don't know what a person might do to do me in. The wall is up.
ReplyDeleteSorry to ramble there. Here is my post today...an example of when things didn't "flow" as desired:
OctPoWriMo Day 13
Have a blessed day!
Yeah, I'm so not great with change anymore, I think I used to be a lot better at it. I think I'm right there with you in the trust issue. And you can ramble anytime! =)
DeleteI'm sorry that you have trust issues, too. It is something so very easily broken, and nearly impossible to fix.
DeleteThank you. I appreciate the ramble permission. :)
Have a great weekend!
Finally, a poem that is not so dark! When I Quilt . . . We're nearly half way already. Write to cherish each day.
ReplyDeleteI know, this month is going by so fast!
