'Ah that was quite rude!
'She shouldn't have spoken that way..
'He could've said the same thing so much more politely..
'I wonder how her words impacted them..
'Can he not be more considerate in choosing his words?
'I wonder how I can communicate this..
'I wonder if I could've done something to avoid this...
'I wonder if she can take it..
'I wonder if he will understand..
'I wonder if...
'I wonder..
'I.
Not my Load.
Such is the state of unsolicited absorbing thoughts which tend to have a grip on me at times and graduate to choke my space with things beyond my control; except until very recently (day before yesterday) when I became aware of this and three words rang loud and clear: NOT MY LOAD.
This came as a natural consequence of giving the Universe a tiny thought: 'Could you take care of this?' And there arose a deep knowing: 'HECK YEAH!'
When I see another behave irrationally or rudely or irresponsibly, I tend to get into an intense thought process of how it could have been better or how I may communicate the unfair behavior to the person in question, only to then feel heavy about it all.
Who am I?
With my limited reach, what do I expect to be able to do except only worrying and wasting precious energy over an otherwise non-issue?
Not my Load.
The Universe is there for all of that, so I softly let the heaviness slide off of me into the care of the Universe.
This episode with a sweeping sense of relief, shattered my slippery sense of control over events that arise out of others' actions and the slippery sense of control I try to exert in trying hard to soften assumed consequences. Not my Load.
Three words, that make me instantly drop such draining series of thoughts and realise that the Universe (sum of all of us) has a capacity far greater, far clearer and far far more benevolent than I could ever imagine to achieve so I might as well relax and drop all such proud tomfoolery and learn to let every person carry their own load, a load which they may or may not notice, a load that I may only be conjuring up and as such every load that I may trust the Universe to take care of in any case. Because Universe has its ways to distribute the load and exert it in places where in actuality it can cause reform exactly when it is meant to.
Thank you.
So every time that we may find ourselves getting caught up in a stream of thoughts beyond our purview, remember to say: Not my Load, and pour them smilingly into the Universe's care :)
