When the Flow shifts in a new direction, do you shift to participate or try to cling to what was and is no more?

We are always in the Flow of all creation and destruction, not ever having the option to step outside of it or away from it. Even in our dreams, meditation, and death we are in the Flow. We are of the Flow.

Flow is change. Sometimes, we are in alignment with the adjustments and there is no friction. Other times, there is a shift that feels jarring and our response is to attempt to cling to the previous ease.

One of the most challenging things I do is Letting Go, Again. This is the Fourth Gate of Earth Wysdom philosophy. While challenging in the moment, the reward is Freedom.

The First Gate is Doing The Next Right Thing, the Second is Asking The Question, the Third is Knowing the Answer. As we let go again and again of what we cannot change, we become free and we are bringers of harmony.
