Universal Ease

The path of ease is the path of my most exquisite preference.

I am the only one who can align to my preference, I am the only one who can move at my very own pace. I am the only one who can withhold my action when the timing is not yet ripe, according to my experience of ease.

I could say that the universe is offering me gentle corrections, then offers me ever-more-forceful corrections until I listen, but, as you know I love to say, the universe is offering me LITERALLY EVERYTHING.

I am the one interpreting correction, alignment, resonance. I am the one curating my path through this infinite offering.

I booked a flight to Mexico City as an act of faith and watched everything align around it.

I tried to book a flight out of Mexico City back to California, but I couldn't find a flight aligned with my preferences. (I prefer nonstop flights.)

I also prefer not to force things, I prefer to wait rather than make a move that isn't aligned with my preferences.

It came clear to me today, speaking to my sister on the phone, that the flight from Mexico City is one I should book to New York, to get time over her birthday and the holiday with my family there.

Duh. No wonder my preferences weren't available. The easeful, holistic path aligns with my preferences, and my preferences are always about how the moment goes. I learn what my larger plans will be according to the unfolding of my preference.

I wanted to be with my family for Thanksgiving, it's been years since we were all together, but I didn't see how it could happen, and then the trail of breadcrumbs appeared.

All of this is through my commitment to ease, to giving up and waiting when it doesn't feel easy and aligned, having faith ease and alignment will reveal themselves, knowing I never have to act in advance of their revelation.

The more I trust this, the more true it is.

I walk forward one step at a time. I haven't booked my flight back from New York, who knows where I'm supposed to be after that? I know it's not my business...

The standards I obey may seem to produce universal intervention, and I find it as fun to anthropomorphize as the next guy, but the truth is that I align to a standard, in this case, ease, and then it seems that the universe offers me an easeful path.

I select, through my practices of relationship with the world, what I offer myself from an infinite offering.
