A thought for the new year

Diving into the river of life

Hi again

As this is my last post of 2009 I’d like to share an idea I picked up which has been having a big impact only life recently.  I got it from an amazing friend and Sufi teacher called Shanaz who lives in Andalusia.   My wife and I were visiting Shanaz and his wife Jennifer at their home in the idyllic spot in the Sierra Las Villas and talking about all things spiritual as we tend to do.

Shanaz suggested that life is like a river, and when you think about that river you know that the water flows fastest in the middle of the stream.

Most of us are looking to achieve success happiness and  abundance  more quickly but we are just dipping our toes in the water or dabbling in the shallows where progress is slow.   To really make the most of life we must cast our fears aside and dive in to the centre of the stream and allow life to carry us to our destination.

May you dive into the amazing adventure that is life and I hope we bump into each other downstream somewhere.

Namaste
