One thing I have noticed over the years is God’s inclination to go with the simple.  We hear it spoken in sacred scriptures, we see it in nature, and we are aware of the power of simplicity, especially when it catches us off guard.  I have also noticed my inclination to complicate things.  Perhaps it is because God is in the moment and I am off in a million different directions.  Typically the first message I get from God is to pause and connect with my heart, with my breath, and be where my feet are. The simplicity of the moment allows us to get a reality check on the actual moment we are in so we know from where to proceed or if to proceed.  It is almost laughable the amount of times placing myself back in the moment and making sure my feet and my head are in the same place, simply solves the issue with which I am concerned.  If I get overwhelmed by all the things that need to happen to get where I am going, my breath, reminds me I can only do one thing at a time.  In recovery, they refer to it as taking the next indicated step.  Most of the time when I ask God for direction, I am not handed some grand plan.  I am whispered the next step. Then as it is with my breath, I pause with the next one and check in again.  Looking back those are the simplest, freest, and most powerful days  I have ever had.  The humility of letting go of how I want it all to turn out and the courage to be present in the moment and trust life to unfold as it will.
