Opening

I am in a process of opening.  And what I really want to do is make things happen.  But that is efforting, not opening.  Opening is allowing.  If I can stay open, I can allow things to happen; I can let things happen.  Opening is freedom.  I will continue with this process of opening. 
So why do I sit with my arms folded?  Fear.  I'm holding onto fear.  But fear is not a part of Divine Presence.  It is not a part of the essence of Source or Great Mystery.  If I uncross my arms and stay open, then I let go of resistance.  I release what is unnecessary and in the way.  At the same time my opening becomes an invitation.  Staying open invites Creation in.  It invites something to come to me which is necessary, healing, important, vital.  New.
"We need to remember that where we are going is here, that any practice is simply a means to open our heart to what is in front of us.  Where we already are is the path and the goal."                                          --Jack Kornfield
