Man plans and God laughs!

There is a mysterious dance in which we all take part, a choreography between our deepest desires and the unpredictability of fate. We try to control every step, plan every move, but in the end we are just dancers improvising on a vast and unpredictable stage. I remember my grandmother's wise words, whispered like an ancient secret: "Man plans, God laughs". A reminder that, despite our desires and intentions, there is a greater force weaving the threads of our lives. It's challenging to stand in the space between what we desire and what manifests, often finding ourselves resisting what is, fighting against what is manifesting, generating suffering. It can also be frightening to let go of control and certainties, to be on this stage, sustaining the unknown, not knowing what the next song will be or who will take the next steps. But it is in this space, where certainties dissolve and possibilities flourish, that the magic of life resides. This is a state of pure potential, which precedes the creation of the universe, where everything is contained and not yet manifested. It is a state where all possibilities reside.

We are like sailors on a sea of uncertainty, sometimes at the mercy of the tides and sometimes confidently steering the rudder. I have learned that nurturing our dreams and intentions is important, but we must also learn to let go of the rudder when life invites us to do so, opening ourselves up to receive what life offers us, letting go of resistance and choosing to trust that this greater force, our spirit/unconscious, will guide us along the best paths to get where we want to go, even if at first our Ego is unable to see it.

It's as if the universe were a great conductor, conducting a symphony of which we are all a part. Sometimes the music is soft and melodious; other times, it's loud and chaotic. But in every note, in every silence, there is a lesson to be learned, a truth to be discovered.

So I invite you to dance with me on this stage of life, to embrace uncertainty as a dance partner, to trust in the rhythm of the universe. Because even in the darkest moments, even when the road ahead seems obscure, there is a light that shines within us, a hope that guides us forward.

And when the pain comes, as it inevitably will, remember the impermanence of all things, the ephemeral nature of life. Because just like the waves of the sea, sorrows and joys come and go, leaving behind precious learnings and lessons that will be part of who you become.

So take a deep breath and let yourself be carried away by the music of life. Close your eyes and feel the rhythm of your heart, pulsating in harmony with the universe. Because right now, in this unique and sacred instant, you are everything you need to be, you are complete.

And so, in the eternal dance of being, we discover that the true miracle is not in the final destination, but in the very act of dancing and that act, the present, is all we have. So dance, dance as if no one is watching, because in this dance of life, we are all artists, all creators, all one.

Namaste!
