Letting the flow carry you by Alexis Moon

As I sit here, after a whirlwind time, I wonder how I can describe the life that has been flowing around me lately.

Many lessons all culminating in a feeling of sitting in the void.

Yet, much change has unfolded, and I’m amazed at how little I’ve actually had to do, to allow this change to flow in.

I live on a property, rural, half an hour from the closest town.

My husband and I have a small social circle and don’t ask for help often.

In the past, we prided ourselves on being able to do everything, without having to reach out for help.

Independent, sometimes to our detriment.

Yes, we have the feeling of satisfaction of a job well done, but our bodies have not thanked us.

This is connected to the many years I would do, do, do.

I had plans and organised those around me.

Life was always a bit chaotic, but things happened.

I thought it happened because I made it so.

Perhaps it did, but at what cost?

Years in this cycle, the hamster running on the wheel, left its mark.

Ill health, exhaustion and fatigue dogged me, and I was forced to slow down, to start asking for help.

Support which was always available to me but I chose not to reach out to.

Fast forward and slowly, slowly, the lessons have shifted and the cycle is coming to a close.

The old is wrapping up and the new has not yet begun, glimmers sparkle at me, letting me know it’s nearly time.

This takes me to what I wish to share today.

Life truly flows and when we let go of the wheel, even just a little, we can be pleasantly surprised.

For example, we’ve had the intention to clean up around our property, ever since we moved in, over 2 years ago.

We had done bits and pieces, and it felt never ending.

The place had a lot of baggage, scrap metal and pieces that held no interest or value for us.

After much time of “trying” to get things done, every time I let go of how something should be, something new would invite itself in.

With the clean up, I had called some people weeks ago to come collect old cars and scrap metal.

Hadn’t heard anything for a while and then all of a sudden, they were available and coming.

It took 3 days and there’s still another truck load to go, but the majority just went.

Like that, a sense of renewal and ease flowed in.

I was and still am, in awe with the ease that this occurred.

The point of this story is to illustrate that when we allow others in and actually ask for help, it can be more easy and magical, beyond what you once may have thought possible.

Ask, Allow and be open to Receiving.

Thank you life.
