Expect the Unexpected

How can we ever expect something to happen in life?

We got tight schedules, busy work plans, strenuous exercise programs, expensive Christmas mimic in December, occasionally smiling full moons, red running nose on a cold winter day, and butterflies mystically flying out of your navel when we are happily excited.

We know that our neighbor will be grumpy if we dance hot tango and play loud rock music until 3am, that mother in law wants to eat lunch at Ritz at 1pm sharp on Tuesday, that friend's son always got terrible smelly feet, and that the purring cat next to me prefers crunchy salmon bites than Friskies mixed "Mariner's Catch".

But how can we ever be able to know how we are feeling in ONE moment to another?

EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED says a good source and it's true.

We are all made of spinning molecules, and we are all in a big juicy soup constantly getting interfered with everybody's energy fields, thoughts systems and jumpy vibrations.

How can we KNOW the exact reaction of ourselves on a given day and on a given moment? Of course we can always PRETEND to react in a certain way, but if we listen to ourselves then are the inner voices and feelings exactly the same from one minute to another?

No they are not.

We came out of this universe, and we came with a huge BIG BANG.
That's why it can't really be a surprise that everything is eternally dynamic. Everything is always moving, changing, getting created, disappears, turns around, goes backwards, forwards, dances around, searching, finding, sizzling and buzzing.

So what can we expect else than nothing?

Is "to expect" to put certain reactions, circumstances, experiences and treatments into small boxes with red, blue and green labels on?
Is "to expect" against the KARMA, the law of doing, being, living and enjoying the fruits from the NOW?
Is "to expect" against any "rules" of this immense flowing universe?

Do we forget to live if we start expecting everything?
Do we put stones in our shoes?
Clay in our eyes?
Bubbling foam in our senses?

Do we forget to see BEYOND the stressed daily life by putting everything into narrow schedules, by trying to CONTROL the future events and wanting to KNOW what is about to happen?

Who gave us that power?

How can we ever regard something as probable or likely since everything is always changing?!
Why fight against it? Why not just take it as it is?

Life is wonderful (and never boring!) since we never know what will happen next.
And it's our job to take the responsibility of whatever the outcome may be....
We better accept it as a fact instead of freaking out.

Of course we need plans, we need goal setting, we need some kind of structure or we'll probably turn into soft marshmallows not having anything to say or to do.

But to make some plans or to expect everything in life is a biiiiig difference.

I know that I'll go training at 7am this morning, I even know what muscles and exercises I'll work with, but I don't know exactly how my body will react this time. I don't know exactly what weight I'll be using, what people I'll be seeing, what music they'll be playing or how many calories I'll be burning.
I just can't know. And that's exactly what I like about it. I love living. I love changing. I even love being silly and crazy as I am. Everything is wonderful as it is. The ups and the downs, I'll take it all.
