Control and planning

Water is smooth in its working, it goes around obstacles, under tree branches and over stones. It never stops to force its way though an obstacle. It is always running.

it espouses the shape of its recipient without complaint or protests.
As erosion does its deed, water slowly changes course, adapts to the new situation and effortlessly goes through passage that were giant obstacle before.
Leaving a situation or a problem sometimes is the best solution. Letting time do its deed and taking a step back is all what needs to be done.
Doing nothing and standing by the side is harder than putting our hands into the clay of our lives and trying to shape it to our likings.
Faithful passivity requires a huge amount of trust in the flow of the universe. The flow that makes the night follow the day and the ebb follow the flow with faultless precision, the flow that circulates our blood heals our cells ad regulates our body chemistry.
Most often than not, our intervention, although made with the best of intentions, either complicate a situation or gives us a pale results
Because we are unware of all the variables that go into our daily issues, we get a lopsided solution, that we try to fix with another lopsided solution.
Our attempts to control our lives make us loose control of it. Maybe sometimes the solution is to be water. To continue flowing, letting things take care of themselves with minimal or no intervention on our part.
Maybe planning and controlling is the reason behind a live that veered our of control while scoffing at our meticulous plans and defiantly provoking us and daring us to make it using our limited senses and curtailed vision of the world.
