Prosperity is about Becoming

Our culture looks at life as if it comes in frozen and never changing chunks. Something along the lines of bits and bytes of data in a computer system. All neatly packaged for our convenience and dispensation. The program of life written exactly to our whims, needs and fancies. If only it were true. In fact, the truth is even simpler - there is no need to even lift a finger to participate in, and enjoy, this truth.

What we need to do is to not lift a finger to make things happen. Instead, we need to find the strength, patience, insight and courage to let things happen as they need to.

Here we are back, to our old friends, balance and trusting in the invisible. Buddhists have a wonderful way of describing the process of life. They call it "Ever-Becoming." Since we are a part of life, then we are "Ever-Becoming." This means we are ever-growing, ever-changing, learning and becoming somewhat different than when we woke up this morning.

We can ignore it, and most of us do. Yet at what price? We are still Ever-Becoming whether we want to be or not. We have no choice in the matter. Where life goes, we go.

It makes more sense to cooperate with life instead of fighting a spiritual guerilla war, a battle lost before it is begun. Ever-Becoming is where we came from, is where we are, and is where we are headed. Real prosperity involves ever-becoming, so let the Ever-Becoming times roll!!
