Loving What is

From "Loving What Is" by Byron Katie.

When you become a lover of what is, there are no more decisions to make.  In my life, I just wait and watch.  I know that the decision will be make in it's own time, so I let of when, where and how.  I like to say I'm a woman with no future.  When there are no decisions to make, there's no planned future.  All my decisions are made for me just as they're all made for you.  When you mentally tell yourself the story that you have something to do with it, you're attaching to an underlying belief.

I think this ties into the tension between urging and prodding yourself to act, but, also, going with the flow so that you don't get a backlash from your inner "brat" or inner "sage."  It also reflects the phenomenon that never ceases to amaze me that when I sit to meditate, tasks bubble up from somewhere, as if I were just a vessel being run by the tasks.  Fascinating.
