Inshallah

“God willing and the creek don’t rise.” Is a statement of acceptance. Of acknowledging that we must consider the manifestation of Spirit in the natural reality of the Universe, for if it’s not God’s will then surely the creek will rise and we will become frustrated in our effort.

We will either eventually surrender and find joy and peace lying in the hands of God, or we will persist and in infinite and loving mercy, God will eventually allow us to experience the hollow feeling of an unworthy victory we realize as unworthy only in hindsight.

At that point we begin again either:
wallowing in the mud of indecision,
drowning in the ego of ourselves,
or asking God’s will,
listening to the water,
and swimming to the other side.
