In and Out of Sync

We all have trouble getting out of a parking space now and then. Somehow it's an act of getting into the flow of traffic. And well, sometimes our timing is off, and then we just can't get out or into traffic.
 
This is also true of life. Sometimes we're stuck like a parked car in a crowded parking lot. And we consider ourselves lucky if our car isn't parked too close to the neighboring cars because all we want to do is get into our car and drive away. Somewhere....just anywhere will do. A welling up of the feeling, "Just get me out of here," often overtakes us. But patience often gets us out of this stuckness. It's more than just waiting, it's being open to the moment, the moment of opportunity to act decisively.
 
So the next time you're stuck in a parking lot, be patient and be open to your moment to move in sync with the traffic. And in between your curses at the other drivers, remember that you're part of the flow of life too.
