The Tao of Pooh

Winnie-the-Pooh - quiz | Children's books | The Guardian


This struggle is part of it. This struggle is part of what you must allow to unfold. It will often not feel like doing nothing. An active allowing.

It's as much "floating" as you can do when the waves are trying to crash you down into the drowning deep. As much "floating" you can do while hanging from a balloon, being chased by bees.

But it is allowing.

You are allowing parts of you to become, through welcoming the ways they might hurt you and change you, maybe even improve you.

I'm afraid the path of least resistance is not the path of least discomfort.

Some discomforts are not to be avoided, if we truly are to open up to the ways of life.

Breathe into the tight muscle, and Namaste.
