Fruit of the Tree

As I lay awake in bed thinking about my blog just now and planning my website and where it may lead, I noticed how I always want to plan a million miles ahead, to think through everything and feel in control yet the that whole idea is absurd. This project is a big one, I can feel it. It will go on for years and years and lead to many things as it and I grow. So, why try to contain something that will grow naturally and cannot be foreseen? Before they realise the earth was not flat, could they plan the journey around the world? When I want to grow a beautiful tree from the seed of a fruit that was particularly delicious, do I plan every leaf, every branch, every last fruit the tree will bear or do I trust that it will grow and is likely to produce equally delicious fruit in future?

How liberating to it is to be able to stand back from myself and see this foolish game I play that brings over-excitement at times and then stress as I doubt myself. How much lighter it feels to let go and trust myself and just go with the flow, following my heart, trusting myself and the universe to deliver what I have asked for!
