This Time, Enjoy the Ride

Skating with your hands clasped behind you, wind in your hair and the cold breeze of winter glossing your face.

That is renewal. That is freedom.

Being with you—and you alone—hearing the cut of the blades on the ice, you are supported fully, with all the anticipation of the trees and birds in flight waiting with bated breath.

Skate freely. Enjoy new experiences, without fear of thin ice or retribution.

When you are alone, you are not.

When you feel isolated, you are not.

The ever-present, steady drum of the frequency of the fullness of you—that you are always connected to—is not only available, but is ever calling you to align and join in the river and stream of flow.

Feeling the connection of all, once completely in alignment, is like a surge of power—like the roller coaster online at the amusement park.

Once strapped in and on track, the ride continues without any effort on your part.

You may choose to raise your hands in total release and enjoy, even feigning fear by letting out screams of delight—

or you may grip the bar tightly, eyes squinted, waiting and praying for it to end even before it begins.

This is life.

You choose to which degree you want to experience.

The ride continues, and you can always get in line again and again.

But why not enjoy it this go-round?

The twists, the turns—

they’re there for your enjoyment.

So do.
