Everything I am
is a gift from source.
Everything I need
already flows through my life.
It’s not all supposed to be good.
That’s what makes it great.
When I accept what I am
and let go of need,
I see
this is how I am drawn.
I need be no other way.
When I perceive
expectations from others,
I do as I am drawn to do.
I do not need to fulfill
these expectations,
nor harbor any of my own.
I can, but I don ’t need to.
Whatever I do is meant to happen.
This is my life.
I watch it as it flows.
No resistance.

In the acknowledgment of our being as a gift from the source, we embrace the essence of our existence. This recognition heralds a profound understanding: that all we are and all we have emanates from a cosmic wellspring, a boundless fount of being.
The Gift of Being
The realization that everything we need already courses through the veins of our life is a liberating truth. It’s a whimsiword, a magical caravan traversing the landscapes of existence, reminding us of the abundance that permeates our journey.
The Flow of Need
The tapestry of life is woven with threads of varied hues, not all supposed to be good, and that’s the beauty of it. This diversity of experiences, this spectrum of moments, shapes the grandeur of our existence. It’s in the embrace of this mosaic that greatness is birthed.
The Mosaic of Experience
Acceptance of what we are and relinquishment of need unveils the path we are drawn to. In this realization, we find freedom. There is no need to be other than what we are, for in our authentic being lies our true path.
The Path of Acceptance
When faced with expectations from others, we remain true to our inner calling. We are drawn to act not out of compulsion to meet these expectations, but from a deeper alignment with our essence. In doing so, we honor our own truth.
The Freedom from Expectations
The understanding that we need not fulfill expectations, neither those of others nor our own, liberates us. The choice to act is ours, but it’s not a necessity. This realization opens a world of possibilities, free from the chains of obligation.
The Liberation of Choice
In our actions, we recognize that whatever transpires is meant to be. Each step, each decision, is a part of the cosmic play, intricately designed and perfectly unfolding.
The Cosmic Dance of Action
Our life is a river, and we are the observers, watching its course with no resistance. This serene observation allows us to flow with the current, embracing each turn and twist with equanimity and grace.

Summary
We recognize ourselves as gifts from the source, with all our needs flowing through life. The diversity of experiences, both good and not, contributes to the greatness of our existence. Accepting ourselves and letting go of need reveals our true path, freeing us from external expectations. Our actions, whether aligned with these expectations or not, are part of the cosmic design. Observing our life as it flows, we embrace each moment with no resistance.

In the river of life, we gently glide,
With no resistance, we let life decide.
Each moment a gift, each day anew,
In this cosmic dance, we find our true hue.
We stand in the flow, with hearts open wide,
Embracing the journey, with no need to hide.
Our being a whimsiword, unique and bright,
In this tapestry of stars, we find our light.
We invite you to share your reflections on this journey of acceptance and flow.
