Newsletter: Birthday and Snails.
At home we have a huge tank filled with all kinds of fish and animals. I often sit and watch the fish as meditation. There is one particular inhabitant that I feel has wisdom we can learn from, the snail.
To be honest when Allan first got those snails I really couldn't figure out what exciting things they would do. I mean they're snails!! But after watching them for a few days I learned some amazing things.
It didn't matter where they needed to go they would find a way. If there was a piece of cucumber in the middle of the tank floating they would patiently wait till they had access to it. Climbing on air pipe, on a huge leaf floating close to it and then finally jump on it. They simply went with the flow.
The most amazing part was when they were done and there were no access points, they simply let go and floated down. What an amazing feat of trust. They didn't know if they would crash and destroy their shell, where they would land, who would eat them. They simply let go and let snail god.
How often as human beings do we just let go? Not fret, not analyze till kingdom come, figure things out. When we do that we are so out of alignment with what we want. We're pretty much stuck. I'm not saying to jump of the side of a building! I'm talking about just letting go and knowing that what you need will come to you.
For the month of July I would suggest practicing the art of letting go. Trusting that the universe has your back. That it cares enough that when you let go, you won't come crashing down and crack your shell. Let go and let snail!
