Relax, Bee Free

I always seem to be struggling--trying to find my way. Will I ever be satisfied?

That's the question that was on my mind as I sat next to my pond trying to regain some peace and balance in my life. I closed my eyes and tried to release all of the "bad energy." When I opened my eyes, I saw a bee stuck in a spider web. Poor, bee, I thought. I actually thought he was already dead, as he lay there motionless. Then, he just flew away. He didn't struggle, for if he did, he would have gotten stuck for sure. He just remained relaxed and was able to fly away.

I saw the lesson in this. Stop struggling, relax, and things will happen as they should. Continue to struggle, and fight with the flow, and you will continue to be stuck, you'll be trapped for good. So, I shall relax and be free.

Thank you for sharing this, Kelly. It's like the 4th story/example of enlightenment I've run into this week.

I actually wrote this awhile ago, and it set in my posts as a draft. When I read it yesterday, I felt like it was something I needed to hear again, and that I also needed to share it. I now know why! I'm glad it helped you, too!
