Karl Crow, hm?
Where did this name come from?

Hand delivered by God. AKA, Spirit, imagination, creativity. Struck down into the mind from the infinite imaginal into the middle-ground of Thought and typed down into the hard concrete world of Matter.

Today: what will I do? I will follow God today. I will follow the spirit, because, with spirit there is no thing that can be wrong. Do I want to struggle and flail? OR do I want to surf the wave of the Dao? Commit to the wave and ride as it crests, powered forward by the full force of Nature? Yes, that sounds wonderful, and easier. Surfing is not easy, of course. Finding balance and mastering the ride takes its own kind of skill. But would you rather flail and fret, or glide effortlessly forward?

The spirit makes things easy for us. It makes things smooth and slow, rather than fast and frantic. It makes life a hell of a lot easier. We can see people in anxiety, panic, despair, and know they are getting tossed around by the waves, swimming against them, splashing in the water. Do we want to splash and scramble? Or do we want to coast? Set sail?

Today I will choose to ride the wave. Karl Crow, that’s my name today. I will be moved by the spirit and have confidence in my not knowing, confidence that I’m learning to ride, confidence that each time I fall I learn a little more about surfing the life-wave, confidence that I am getting better and better only by seeking to let God move me for his purposes. Today I let go of my purposes, and I submit them to God for approval, I submit my hands, feet, arms, legs, torso, skin, tongue, mind, all of it, to God, for use as he pleases. I am free, today.

I am free.
