Flow
Do not struggle.
Go with the flow of things,
And you will find yourself at one with
The mysterious unity of the Universe.

is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve
greatly. ~Eckhart Tolle
Flow with whatever is happiness and let your mind be free. Stay centered by

a problem. By flowing with life I mean acceptance– letting come what
comes, and go what goes. ~Nisargadatta Maharaj
Be soft in your practice. Think of the method as a fine silvery stream, not a
raging waterfall. Follow the stream, have faith in its course. It will go its own
way, meandering there, trickling there. It will find the grooves, the cracks, the
crevices. Just follow it. Never let it out of your sight. It will take you…
~Sheng-Yen

we move with the waves in life as they roll over us, the wave passes on.
