It is in this particular state of mind that I find myself
blessed with the most creativity. Unfettered by the distraction
of desires and intentions my mind is open to receiving the
divine download, that flash of inspiration from the heavenly
hard drive!

good traveler has no fixed plans
and is not intent upon arriving." |
I saw this quote many weeks ago and it has been my motto
and mantra ever since. Presumably from the Tao Te Ching
by ancient Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, it has application
in all areas of life, not just travelling.
Getting the mind to that state of aimlessness, into uncharted
territory, that's the trick. Sure, I have lots of goals
and intentions. But I am training myself not to cling to
them. To be open to the possibility of something even grander
than I had even imagined. Oops! That's yet another intention!
But no worries, there will always be more to let go of... |
