Life never doesn’t happen

We’ve all heard the phrase, “life happens.”

We tend to say to others when we notice our life happen.

Most of the time our life is like our body. We use our body to walk, sit, talk, move about and experience the world. But we don’t really think about it.

When I’m jamming to Alanis Morisette’s acoustic album, singing at the top of lungs, I’m not thinking about my ears.

I think about my ears when they get infected, when something gets in their accidentally or when my nine-month-old almost rips them off when he uses them like a handle to help him stand up.

Otherwise, I kind of forget that I have ears.

Usually, we also forget that life is happening.

Until, of course, something happens that draws our attention to it. Then we notice life and say that sometimes it happens.

It’s not so bad to forget if you are living in integrity because over time, when you remember, you’ll notice how many enjoyable moments have occurred. Even the traumas and unenjoyable moments will have been processed and integrated if life is balanced with accurate and effective recuperation.

Life is like gravity. It’s okay to forget about gravity as long as you maintain a relationship to it that is constructive rather than destructive.

Otherwise, since it is never not happening, we may not like the default changes that have occurred.
