I do believe in harmony - in the reality that we
“live” and “set” and “choose” our life in every moment…
and yet lately, I realize that while we experience it and navigate it one moment at a time,
that isn’t perhaps the only dimension for the overall approach.
Maybe life is a little less about solving a never ending string of problems…
Living mindfully a never ending string of moments…
But rather allowing yourself to flow…
Not sure if that makes sense, but seeing life, living life in the granularity of every moment, creates a nearly infinite decision points. And, while I do think that is the way it happens… I am starting to realize that there is another dimension to how we live…
Every moment is not an intersection of harmony and disharmony… where you have to stop and decide.
Think of it this way… many of our moments can be like many traffic lights that are already green before you get to the intersection…
You can actually coast through moments like a long open road in a big city where the green lights just seem to turn on before you get to them…
The thing about life is that as you figure out what matters to you, who you are, what your purpose is and how you want to live your life (and yours truly is a work in progress)… you get to figure out how to turn the lights green ahead of the intersection… more and more often…
Moments are intersections, opportunities, nodes, atoms… to pivot, to decide, to enjoy… but also to simply flow through…
It can be exhausting to stop at every intersection…
A crowded mind can be like a backed up road…
You want to move and put the pedal to the metal… but you can’t…
It’s ok to stop. To wait for the green light, or to make the turn on red.
And, it’s ok to enjoy it when stopping isn’t necessary.
In fact, it should be our deliberate goal to just roll down the road as best as we can effortlessly…
i like the thought of the sun rising low over Manhattan…
We are driving down the road and we can see literally a few miles down the road…
And, there is no one on the streets…
The light is green and as we start to speed up into the blinding but beautiful sunlight peeking through the buildings…
The lights start to turn green… and we simply enjoy the acceleration, the beauty, the intersections…
and, we keep going… and they keep turning …
one by one, before we even get there…
Keep finding your flow…
green lights…
in harmony,
Nestor
