Let Go, Let God
by John Trent
When nature unleashes its fury and a storm descends upon us, waves of wind and rain are released upon the land. Limbs break, the earth is eroded and even stone can be washed smooth; but seldom does it last the entire day.
Heraclitus (c.540 – c.475 BC) wrote,” Everything flows and nothing abides, everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.” So, much like the storm, we need to recognize that our efforts are temporary. Whether we are experiencing a joyful or difficult circumstance, it too shall pass.
In order to find personal peace, we must realize the impermanent nature of all things and learn to ride the current of natural events. In conclusion, Joseph Campbell wrote, “We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the life that is waiting for us.”…… So enjoy the moment and just “go with the flow”. I promise you’ll be happier.
