Free Will

Wonderful, snowful morning to everyone, to all,

I am feeling a little foolish or playful today. As in many other times too, I must have been having something intoxicating =^) and I am like drunk in the early morning already. Well, I have been enjoying meditation, mantras and prayers soon after I woke up and now I am having hot chocolate. Mmm… tastes good.

It has been snowing during the night and it still is snowing. Interesting to see if this is the last snow for this winter or will we still get more. The weather for weekend should be sunny and warm again. I wonder if the Father of all Life has also got something intoxicating? I mean these sudden changes in the weather and many other things in Life too are happening all the time.

Today Free Will wants to be discussed. What does Free Will mean to us?

For me it means that I can choose things and attitudes, thoughts, emotions, words … Wow, there is a lot which I really can choose, I have Free Will. I may enjoy and have joy in my Life or I can choose to be angry, frustrated, sad, depressed … Today I am choosing to express Love and Gratitude, Joy. I am choosing Joy and Love and Gratitude right Today – Now and a little bit foolishness, that is just so amusing.

Well, I can see that I chose those today – I chose to express them today – at least in this morning. I might have chosen differently in some other days but today I chose Joy and a little Foolishness =^). And actually – it feels so much BETTER than the opposite. It feels SO GOOD to be joking and acting a little fool. It feels so good to praise Divine in everyone and in everything – also in the snow that we have got and still is snowing. The color of white is so beautiful and sweet, little crystal bells are ringing in the white snow flakes. Little snow flakes are touching each other while they are hovering and dancing and that is making them ring so beautifully. At least it is nice to think so. Isn’t it nice to think that the snow flakes are singing, ringing, dancing and playing in the air?

When my little me is in charge, I want to say that I didn’t want to have or choose this or that – depending of the situation of course (anyway, I have chosen the experiences in my life even if I wouldn’t like to admit that). I complain and mourn about the things that I might have in front of me or in my Life – of course everything is there for reason. I have to learn to choose how to react or relate with them and I have to learn to learn what ever they are teaching to me about myself. I have a Free Will there too. Do I choose to see things with my eyes and mind open or through the filter of my little me, my little mind? That filter - of course – will make me look at the things as it would like to see them. It wants either exalt or debase itself, make itself something superior or inferior. Little me wants always to be something more or less – something -er – than anyone or anything else, that is the way for little me/ ego to feel so alive, it doesn’t matter how it feels - it just wants to feel alive and safe, even if the body and mind would suffer – that just is food for ego and makes it feel so alive again.

A Free Will – hmmm.... What do I choose?
Do I choose to look at the things - what ever is in front of me - differently – with my eyes and mind open – with joy, just observing what is going on or on contrary?

There has been so many days and times when I have chosen the way of my ego, my little me. Would it be the time for different approach now? Do I choose to see things differently and appreciate everything that is in my life, everything that I see and touch now? Do I choose voluntarily the Praise and Joy of Life and God, Happiness, Peace now? Is there room for hope and singing and laughter now? Have I already chosen enough the opposite or do I still want to crawl on the ground or mud?
Do I choose to see the Divine in me and in others and in all now? And do I choose that based on my Free Will?

Do I let the snow flakes dance and sing also within me? What ever I do choose, I choose it by my Free Will, using my Free Will. The question is always how do I think about the situations and things, what is my attitude when I am facing different things.

How do you - my Friend – choose today and tomorrow and in all tomorrows?

Joyful, wonderful spring to You – right now – right here
