Playful Co-Creation

What if the Universe, Spirit, God, or whatever you choose to call a higher power is actually not a warm generous parental type?  What if, instead, it's more like a jaunty best friend who loves you so much and can't wait until tomorrow when the two of you get to play again?

I've been getting closer to living in my power.  Which, ironically, takes a lot of humility.  Anytime I think I Know, assuming I can catch myself at it, then I'm pretty sure the Ego has taken control of the vehicle again, and it's time for a cosmic fire drill.  Red Light!  Everyone out!  It's time to switch seats!

Staying in the not knowing is tough.  It takes some willingness to trust.  It takes some courage to give up plans and schemes.  It's potent, though.  The Unknown is so much bigger than the Known.  The Conscious mind has less than a thousandth of the computing power of the Unconscious.  And who knows what measure we might find in the superconscious.  And there's magic in the Invisible- in the ineffable spaces between what we see and what we imagine, like the dark matter of possibility.

I went to buy yarn for my hair.  (I'll post a photo tomorrow...)  On a lark, I wore a nice outfit.  I simply felt like being fabulous out in the world.  Then, having successfully completed my trip, I realized that I was in South Austin with free time.  I called the first person that came to mind, and she was delighted to hear from me, hoping I'd come to her party.  Which I did, and met some lovely people.

If I had stayed in the known, I would have missed all that.  I would have come home, cleaned house, hung drapes- followed the plan.  And my intuition brought me a totally different result, because I was willing to set my planning aside and just listen.  And that's such an important part of co-creation.

You can't just do it alone!  There are two of you, right?  The you who is reading this, and the You who already knows all of it, and lovingly empowers the first one.  Trying to do it with just one of you will be far more tiring, I promise.  So cultivate that partnership.

I love hanging out with the Universe.  She's my best friend.  She loves you too, and She has plenty of time to share.  Tell her your secrets (and stop being so bossy,) and you'll find that she makes a great play date.
