Heavenletters

It is all God's grace. Through grace the worlds spin and the flowers bloom.

And now your writing has got me going!

Maybe we all know how to ride bicycles. We just have to keep getting on until we remember. Once remembered, it's effortless riding. Can the act of getting on after falling off be called effort? Or is it just a natural process. Maybe we can replace the word effort with, "Just step aside and let the natural processes take place. Let go of resistance."

Sometimes I leave my laundry for a week and at the end of the week I do washing. I take the clothes, soak them, add some essential oils, rub in some soap, scrub them, rinse them, squeeze them and put them out to dry in the sun and wind. These days I really enjoy doing laundry. I remember a time when I only did this process at the end of the month. Not because the clothes were dirty, but because I wanted some money. It always happened that money would come floating to the top of the washing machine! Then it was an effort. Somehow now, the same process (even sans washing machine) is effortless.

What happened? Something about letting go. Meditation and yoga practice switched from a discipline to an effortless joy. These days it almost always welcomes me...like a refreshing natural oceanside pool during a warm summer sunset. I feel that although I could have got here without the disciplined practice, that practice (process of letting go) helped me let go and awaken to grace little by little.

I could compare that practice to a child getting back onto the bicycle no matter how many times she fell and no matter how bruised her knees are, she gets back on cos she can feel and see the freedom of cruising on those two wheels, wind on her smiling face.

I'm so glad about Godwriting. It has to be an effortless process. I'm so happy that its just a switch and that it can be used by anybody and that it is so practically simple. Its a unique and powerful process. I think the power of transformation it has, has much to do with its simplicity. I write to God and God speaks back. Yet one must pick up the pencil. Picking up the pencil is saying, "YES". Picking up the pencil is letting go and allowing the process to take place.

Neil and Summerhill sound awesome. What's the name of the book?

Hey, I'm just the driver! I don't have anything to teach except how to get lost and not worry about it! Remember Bucharest? Oh and all those other places we visited...only God knows how we managed to find our way cos I had no idea!
