The challenge we often find is that of being a fish out of water. And this is a thing for which to be thankful; the opportunity to practice in real time. Our prayer should not be that we are always submerged, but that we become amphibious, adaptable to whatever the day brings, whatever the Universe presents. Further, that we may recognize that the Universe didn't create any of this willy-nilly, independently of us. The Universe that we experience without is in large part an expression of the Universe within. Further still, there really is no within or without independent of each other. There is only this and we are as much screen as we are the projection as we are the viewer. There is no separation in reality, only in degree. We have to open the channel, clear the way for expression, put pen to paper and let it flow. The flow is informative, providing clarity. It comes from on-high, which is nothing less than a deeper portal of our own psyche, which again is not something that exists independently within a Universe, but is an individualized expression of all that Universe implies with all potential contained, intently awaiting actualization. Practice is simply alignment. Form is irrelevant.
