The Roller Coaster

I visited Story land, an amusement park in New Hampshire, with the boys over the long weekend and went with them on a roller coaster ride. I pretended that I was scared just to add a little more excitement to the ride for the boys, but of course I wasn't. Why would we? The cars are safely embedded in the tracks and you know beforehand where the ride starts and where it stops, right? Life is that way, there is excitement along the way, but your journey has been written in the stars eons ago. All you need to do is to show up and enjoy the ride.

This morning I had a deja-vue moment. A scene that happened exactly around this time last year and I was on an emotional roller-coaster until finally all the fog lifted magically a couple of weeks later. Today I was on the same emotional roller-coaster for about 20 minutes until I got the all clear from the Tao that everything is exactly as it should. This begs the question why does there need to be a roller coaster experience in the first place? Never mind the roller-coaster I would say, it is all part of the bigger plot to let off some psychological steam and God only knows what that is all for. So in case if you are on a similar psychological roller-coaster right now, just accept the ride. It does get easier for the Tao traveler with every iteration. The ride is already over, yet, you haven't quite realized it.
