If I said to you, "stop clogging your straw" you might think I was a little strange.

Let me explain............

If the universe were a straw and life was the liquid that was sent through that straw, the story might go something like this. Chocolate milk is being sent through the straw, and some of us like chocolate milk, we want more, and want it faster. We climb up into that straw and try to pull it down faster.

Some of us do not like chocolate milk so we climb up into the straw and try to push it back up.

In both cases we are creating a clog, and in both cases the chocolate milk is still going to come down the straw, just a little or a lot slower now that we have tried to control the flow. If we can just accept what is coming down the straw, we will get all of the chocolate milk, and then be able to try something different, like apple juice. Or, in the case of not liking chocolate milk, it will be changed to apple juice quicker without us clogging the straw. Life is going to happen, no matter what. Our perception of it is what will make it harder or easier to deal with.

The least inter(fear)ance on our part, by not trying to control the flow, will give us that experience, then we move on to try another, or get us past the ones we don't like quicker, and we move onto another. So now if I say "stop clogging your straw" you might NOT think I am so strange, maybe.
Love,
