Day Eight: In the Middle of the Night

Tell me that made you start singing.  That would make my day.  Why is it that our best ideas often come to us at night?  Personally, I think it’s because we finally relax enough and let go of control long enough for spirit to pop in and say hello.  All day long we are fighting with the current, but when we lay down to sleep we release the oars and relax into life.  I sometimes think that if we could live the way we sleep, meaning releasing the need to control and be relaxed, we would have fuller happier lives.  Think of all the unnecessary tension that we create for ourselves and if you really look at your busy life you realize you really did create it all.  Every little bit is self-created.  Realizing this gives you the choice to change it.  You can look at your life and begin to release that control and allow spirit to flow into your life instead of just trickling in when you fall asleep.
