MM all,
This is a copy of a page from my favorite book, "Das
Energi" by Paul Williams (not the Song writer). I like
to post it occasionally to share (normally after I
find it again and re-read it). It is written in the
form of "she" here but the author uses "she" on one page
and 'he" on the next. This page just happened to be a
"she" page. Needless to say, I highly recommend the
book.

Sooner or later a person begins to notice that
everything that happens to her is perfect, relates
directly to who she is, had to happen, plays its
little role in fulfilling her destiny.
When she encounters difficulty, it no longer occurs to
he to complain - she has learned to expect nothing,
has learned that loss and frustration are a part of
life, and come at their proper time - instead she asks
herself, whyis this happening? ... by which she means,
what can I learn from this, how will it strengthen me,
make me more aware? She lets herself be
strengthened, lets herself grow, just as she lets
herself relax and enjoy (and grow) when life is gentle
to her.
Strengthened by this simple awareness, that life is
perfect, that all things come at their proper moment,
and that she is always the perfect person for the
situation she finds herself in. A person begins to
feel more and more in tune with her inner nature,
begins to find it easier and easier to do what she
knows is right. All chance events appear to her to be
intended; all intentional actions she clearly
perceives as part of the workings of Chance.
Anxiety seldom troubles her; she knows her death will
come at the proper moment; she knows he actions are
right and therefore whatever comes to pass as a result
will be what is meant to happen.
When she does feel anxiety, she realizes it is because
of that thing she's been meaning to do but hadn't
done, some unfulfilled relationship she's been aware
of but ... She perceives the anxiety as a message that
she'll have to stop hesitating if she wants to stay
high... She knows that she is out of tune because
she's let herself get out of tune; and because she
knows she can, she begins to take action. She enjoys
he high life; does not enjoy anxiety; so she stops
hesitating and does what she has to do.
She does not live in a state of bliss, though perhaps
she feels herself moving towards one - toward
something, she doesn't know what it is but it is the
way she has to go, the journey towards it is the only
life she enjoys.
It is hard; it is exciting; it is satisfying, lonely,
joyous, frustrating, puzzling, enlightening, real; it
is her life, that's all. She accepts it.
