Windsurfing “Pay Forward” # 318

I greet The Indwelling Prevailing Presence.

Today’s “Pay Forward” gift is - Windsurfing. When I turn to our Father within, I pray that my thoughts and feelings are like a gentle wind moving me toward my heart’s desire. Trying to remove the useless chatter to my silence is an obstacle. I only need the willingness to return to love; of course, an open mind, heart and flexibility will surely help. A tree will bend in a strong wind. I envision the trees on the coastline, how they are shaped by the prevailing wind. I am learning to be flexible even during the storms of life.  Sometime I have to board up the windows to my heart and mind, until the perceived danger passes, real or illusionary.  “Don’t be too quick to draw conclusions from what happens to you; simply let it happen” Rainer Maria Rilke.  I was watching an experienced windsurfer graciously gliding across the water. A crosswind flicked him over. He was up and surfing within seconds as if nothing had ever happened. That’s the way I want to react when I am caught in life’s crosswind. I am learning how to let go, and let God, whatever the conditions. I am grateful and humble remembering it’s the Father within doing the works we call life. His love is a healing power touching everything into wholeness. My/our love is an extension of His love. Thy Love, Thy Will be done.
