When Things Seem Out of Control

 "Sky Being", by Bettina

Things seem to be pretty much out of control right now in my life. It’s not that crazy-frenzy-type-out-of-control, but more of a wide-open-space-out-of-control. I cannot  even imagine what the next three months will be like. I have no idea what I am going to create. Nothing seems solid, and anything seems possible.

Do you have that in your universe too? It could be easy to go into freak-out about that. Yet, what if, instead, we were in wonder? What that means is to not make this space, the out-of-control-space, wrong. What if it is the mind freaking out, desperately trying to figure it out, to decide and conclude? What if, at this point, our minds don’t work any more? I ask “Is this part of the change I have been asking for?” And the answer is “Yes!”.

Another wonderful tool to use is “What’s right about this I’m not getting?” I just introduced this tool, this question, in a class yesterday, and it opened space for everyone, and joy was there, and excitement. What if we don’t make the un-solidity wrong? When I ask this question, my entire universe opens up. There is only wide open space. There is infinite possibility. So, with that space, I keep asking questions. Such as “What would I like to create now?”, or “What can I create that will be so much fun and such a contribution to consciousness and to the earth?”

Guess what, the space opens further and there is no freak-out!

Now, I wonder, what if we all have opened a door to a new possibility for being on the planet? And, more even, what if we all have stepped through that door into wide open space of infinite possibility? There is no solidity. Solidity exists where we have made something solid, where we have decided what has to be, what better be, what must be. Where we have concluded from past experience, which is always finite. What if there is no past? Do you also get the sense of freshness and excitement right now? What CAN we create from here? What would you like your life to be like? You as infinite being, yes YOU, what would you like to create? What vision do YOU have of a possibility for being on the planet that includes all, that includes you, that includes the earth? For a sustainable future on the planet?

And what if this knowing of a future is not solid, as it is not yet? The ‘whispers from the future’ are like a feather touch. A breeze. Light and motion. What if the wide open space is an invitation for us all to create something different? Where we don’t lock the energy into a conclusion, an outcome, a result? Instead we stay in question. “What do I do with this?” or “What can I create here that I have never created?” “What else is possible now that I have never considered? And “What can I choose today that I have never chosen?”

What does this create for you? For me, there is such joy of possibility here! There are infinite colors!

One of the things I’m really good at and have great fun with is painting. And I have always wondered what more colors are available that I haven’t seen yet, touched yet, bathed in, enthused about, played with, feathered, danced, laughed with, explored, enjoyed, sung with, breathed in, exhaled, marveled, mused, birthed?

Oh, my friends, what if we all say yes to the invitation to a dance beyond this reality, and we composed the "Infinite Greatness of Living" Symphony? Are you willing to spread your wings and fly?
