I am just back from a week in the sun. I swam twice a day in a gorgeous pool overlooking the sea. I soaked up the healing sun. I visited beautiful places that I love and I stopped working. I didn't write and I watched my thoughts as they floated in and out of my mind. I didn't try to hold onto them or follow them to any meaningful conclusion.
I felt suspended in the heat, supported by the water and free of any concern about goals or outcomes. It was blissful. 
Ideas and options bubbled up and floated away. I felt sure that anything important would come back and stay. I reread  Eat Pray Love in lazy pieces and dozed over the pages. 
As the days went by I wondered what life would be like if we all held on more lightly... if we didn't push ourselves so hard. I intend to look at this very notion over the coming week.
  
What would happen if you let yourself be like the water, going around the obstacles instead of beating your head on them?
What would happen in your life if you didn't force yourself to do some perceived 'right thing'?
Would the sky fall in?
Or would you maybe find a better more loving way?
One you couldn't even imagine right now....
