A Futile Quest for Knowledge

It is great how things pan out when I let nature take its course rather than struggling to bring things into line with my expectation by force. I find I learn more when I am free of the burden of the need to control things in my life: I observe more and feel less pain.

I know many things about life, but they pale into insignificance compared with all there is to know yet that is where I often reside, seeking to know above all else, whereas know is so much less powerful than feeling....feeling how to go about my daily life to best effect. In knowing, I seek to control the uncontrollable; in feeling, I have access to an inner knowing of unlimited power and through that I guide myself beyond my limits to live truly, fulfilled and happy.

And it is this to which I surrender yet again as I struggle to deal with so many forthcoming changes arising from our move to a whole new life in Krabi. In so doing I allow inner peace to creep back in and take over from the pain of my mind troubled by its futile attempt to take control.
