God is fun. God is joy. Its seems too simplistic to think of God in such elemental ways, but then again if God was only what we perceive God to be it would be limited. We can only create in our minds something that is connected to something with which we already are familiar. In order to go beyond that we need to surrender the notion that we alone can conceive of every possibility. It is a surrendering of our ego mind to admit that we can conceive of every possibility. In my experience while I may fight admitting that I don’t know at first, it is usually a relief. To not have it all figured out allows for a breath, a moment to be, and a chance to play at life. The author, Florence Scovel-Shin wrote a book called “The Game of Life and How to Play It.” She speaks of connecting with the Spirit of All That Is which has infinite power. The notion that one might be able to play at life because one does not have to be so bogged down by having it figured out goes hand in hand. Life is much easier when I don’t have to know things I don’t know. Life is filled with grace when I give myself permission to learn and try things out. Life is joyful when I can play at being. If my intention is to learn and to grow then I can’t do it wrong, but I get to make adjustments. My prayer for us today is an openness to the idea of learning to play at this game of life. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
