Around the Corner

God said:

Have the idea today that everything you do is easy. Have the idea today that all good comes to you. Have the idea today that life unfolds before your very eyes with treasures to behold. Have the idea today that you are a wine taster of life. All the goblets are filled with good wine, and you simply taste.

Have the idea today that life is a river that flows to your feet.

Have the idea today that there are no faraway mountains to climb. All peaks come close through your eyes of love.

Have the idea today that there is no distance. Have the idea that everything is at hand. Choose grapes from all the trays as they are served to you.

Have the idea today that life is a vineyard that you walk through.

Have the idea that this day arrives with everything taken care of. All you have to do is notice. A taxi arrives without your calling it. Rivers part without your asking. Is this too far-fetched for you? The sun rises and sets every day without your personal request. Why not everything else?

Abandon the idea that life has to be difficult.

Accept the idea that life is an easy stroll and that you are a stroller who is not in a hurry. You enjoy the sights as they appear, and you let them go as you pass by them. You do not squint your eyes to see ahead. You savor all that is right here right now. You do not yearn for the flowers you have just passed. Nor do you yearn for flowers that are yet to be strewn before you.

Let life be a simple walk through the countryside. Let life be the path that trees make before you. Let life be the sights and sounds it is.

You are the wayfarer of life. Yours is not every detail to decide. Yours is every detail to exclaim over.

Can you imagine Adam and Eve walking through the Garden, and saying, "What is that doing here? I don't like that!" They saw that all was beautiful. All was effervescent. All was a spectacular wonder of creation. All was appreciated. Adam and Eve saw beauty through unsullied eyes, and so must you.

You live in a spectacular garden that I created. You walk through a garden as beautiful as the Garden of Eden. The ingredients are the same.

You may be one who plants flower seeds, but you know you don't make the flowers grow. Their growing is already ordained. How does your garden grow? It just grows. And so, your desires are seeds you plant. Then all you have to do is to let them grow.

You were not meant to be a mother hen in regard to the manifesting of your desires. A thought is the seed you sow. And from that seed, from that intention of fulfillment, fulfillment arises. Think your desire, and quietly let go of it so that it may grow. It grows better without interference from you. Your urgings do not help.

Be easy with life. Do not force it. Do not demand. Simply sow your thought-seeds and let them grow in their own time and in their own way.

When you wish to mail a package, you simply drop it in the mailbox. You do not follow its route. You do not insist on seeing it go from one airplane to another. You let it out of your sight so that it may reach its destination. Great bounty is on its way to you. Let life arrive at its own pace. Be easy with it. Welcome it as it comes into view around the corner.
