Change is inevitable. It is the only constant in the universe. The question is do we cling on to an outdated world or do we release ourselves from the binding shackles that keep us locked in? I trust the flow of higher benevolent consciousness 'knows where it is going'. It is knowing this within my deepest heart that gives me the strength to let go and flow. It is this flow that has spurred on my journey of spiritual evolution.

Here's one of my favourite stories that illustrates this so well. It is an excert from a book called Illusions by Richard Bach...

Be inspired!

"Once there lived a village of creatures along the bottom of a great crystal river. Each creature in its own manner clung tightly to the twigs and rocks of the river bottom, for clinging was their way of life, and resisting the current was what each had learned from birth. But one creature said at last "I trust that the current knows where it is going. I shall let go, and let it take me where it will. Clinging, I shall die of boredom."

The other creatures laughed and said, "Fool! Let go, and that current you worship will throw you tumbled and smashed across the rocks, and you will die quicker than boredom!"

But the one heeded them not, and taking a breath did let go, and at once was tumbled and smashed by the current across the rocks. Yet, in time, as the creature refused to cling again, the current lifted him free from the bottom, and he was bruised and hurt no more.

And the creatures downstream, to whom he was a stranger, cried, "see a miracle! A creature like ourselves, yet he flies! See the Messiah, come to save us all!" And the one carried in the current said, "I am no more Messiah than you. The river delights to lift us free, if only we dare to let go. Our true work is this voyage, this adventure."

But they cried the more "Savior!" all the while clinging to the rocks, making legends of a Savior.
