Dear Forrest,

Caught your annual changing of the colors yesterday; impressive, inspirational,  profoundly beautiful!  Your ease, grace and beauty in personal transformation never fails to humble me. 

How do you embrace the cycles of your life with such grace and beauty? For myself, I both hold on to much of my life with a steely grip resisting all change to that which i am comfortable with, while pushing and  pulling in determined  opposition to the aspects of life  that I  judge lacking, stealing my grace, joy and beauty that all life is when it is open and grateful for what is.

You message of   "bloom where you are,"  "embrace that which embraces you" and "surrender in love to that which  changes you in your growth,  renewal  and destruction" seem impossible for one that moves through life in blind obedience to the unnatural rules of the judgmental, the unconscious and the unloving. 

How does one such as I embrace the divine flow of life in love, in ease and in joy?

 Notice, allow and move as the divine flow moves you in the path that is always before you; where your love can bloom in grace, where joy sings in your heart and where God is revealed in all that you see. 

Move when unconditional love moves you, until then; look expectantly until divine beauty reveals itself in all you see and then dance with the Goddess of creation  In your celebration  of the life that you are, while God is once again at home in you.

Notice what you are that never changes and everlasting joy will be your experience of the changes in life. Transformation is natural, effortless and appropriate to the seasons of your life and the seasoning of your wisdom occurs in your allowance and appreciation of the life that you are.
