All the Threads of Fate Must Bend

Essential meaning: being flexible, cultivating resilience and adaptability

There is no such thing as a situation that is perfectly set in one state of being. Nothing difficult and painful will remain that way forever, and nothing joyous and free will remain in the same expression forever either. Imagine the weaving of the threads of fate in the tapestry of life. The threads must bend and move, as they are pliable, supple, not meant to be rigid sticks! Life is the same way.

Your experience of life now requires you to be adaptable to conditions and flexible as to how you respond to them. In this way you build up resilience to meet life on life’s terms while simultaneously continuing to pay attention to your dreams and desires for your most meaningful life. Seen this way, all of life is an experience. Youa are a story that is always in motion, changing, dancing with the Dream Weavers, surrendering your desires, allowing curiosity to lead you in the dark and uncharted territories ahead of you.

Right now, release your rigid ideas of how you think things should be, how the form of things should be, how another person should be, and just allow a state of wonder and curiosity to lead you. Ask yourself in wonder, “What might I discover here?” Let go of your assumptions. Be present to this beautiful opportunity offered to you right now. Fate has brought you to this moment, but destiny will be what you make it mean.
