going with the flow

by a stroke of luck, i chanced upon the site ijourney.org a few weeks ago. i had mentioned it to a, and she in turn helped me rediscover its beauty today, as i read the march 30th post on it. it puts together several of my trains of thought (and thus, several of my posts) - on doing dishes, being stress-free, listening to the inner voice, accepting what comes our way, and perhaps many others.

it struck me the other day, that while i do have hopes and aspirations, and while i do wish for certain things to go away from time to time, and certain things to come, there is something to be said about living the process itself. you know? when i have a work deadline that seems never-ending, but deep down i know that it is going to end, there is a very peculiar kind of happiness that comes from living through the process of getting to that end. as in that quote that said that one must live through the questions to be ready to live through the answers. as in that post about us being realigned by god. eventually, we are given what is best for us, and as long as we tread the right path, we know that only good will come our way - that which is best for our growth, not that which makes us happiest in the short-term.

thanks a, for all that you share. my mind seems forever to feast on the food for thought that you give it :).
