Going with the flow...
We are handed things every day without realizing that we may need them. We sometimes cannot see that what is taken from us, or what we are not allowed to have, affect the future of our lives in ways more profound than we can sometimes know.
I have not always been good about going with the flow of my life and accepting it as it comes. It can be subtle at times or it can enjoin us to follow a set path. The trick is knowing when to allow the flow and when we need to push back.
There is a gig that I have wanted for quite some time. Partly, because it would be a very fun performing opportunity, and partly because I have friends who work there as well and I love performing with my friends. The day before the audition, which involved singing as well as cold-reads, I lost my voice.
We are three performers short at Gatorland and that means more work for everyone else. As well, my counterpart at Medieval Times was on vacation so my show schedule was just about doubled. After 30+ shows, my voice cracked.
Suffice it to say, this prevented a good audition for me. This aside, I will fully admit that the entire field was outclassed by a very good performer. This is not a part I will get. I am ok with that.
I do not believe in fate. I am a believer in Manifest Destiny. However, I do believe the Universe gives us little nudges in the direction we need to go. Sadly, we tend to miss them by getting caught up in the day-to-day minutiae of our lives.
This job would further cement my status as a Floridian. I believe the Universe is telling me that this is not the path I need to follow. My life belongs elsewhere and I must continue to move towards that destination.
We must all stop occasionally and listen to the rhythms of our lives. How many of us find profound sadness in our daily lives? Is is because we push against the flow of our lives within the Universe? Or because we, perhaps, have trouble reconciling the path we need to follow with the dreams and ambitions of our ego?
All of life is a lesson and a journey designed to get us to an ultimate destination. Take a moment every now and again and learn how to travel forward.
Namaste
