“Love is flowing like a river, flowing out of you and me.”  I have no idea when I learned that song as a kid, it sounds like something from CCD school when I was very young.  What a simple idea.  If I am in the flow of life, love flows in and out of me effortlessly.  I forget that love is something to be a part of, something to participate in.  It is where I come from and where I am going.  Love is the be all and end all.  When I try to force it and make it happen or put restraints on it, then I am obstructing the flow. Obstruction ultimately leads to death.  For the last 24 hours I have had this heart monitor on my body and I am fascinated to know what it shows about how my blood flows. I am always curious as to how things work but it is beautiful to think that this machine can know how I am in the flow of life.  The reality is that the flow of life and love is happening all the time whether I am aware of it or not, just like our own hearts.  It is as though God designed it so that it continues and it is not dependent upon us.  God simply extends the invitation to be in the flow of life and love.  I have spent many a time fighting the flow–wanting to make things go a certain way or hoping against hope that things would not have natural consequences.  I have yet to be successful in this.  But my ego is certain that I can assert control here.  The only reason it wants to assert control is because it is afraid.  Being in the flow is much more peaceful but it requires a trust that I will be exactly where I am supposed to be.  Can I trust enough in the grand design of the creator that in the flow is where I am supposed to be? For today, I can.  Tomorrow might be another story, but I am not there yet, so I will focus on the choice of being in the flow today.  What is one way you can be in the flow (with God) today?  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
