The rules of Engagement.

If you don’t like their rules, whose would you use?’

There are plenty of formulae out there – ready-made rules for living your life: what to do, what to believe, what to think, how to dress. From traditional religious observance to the ‘new-age’ and the modern religion of ‘self-improvement,’ there’s a vast smorgasbord of choice, and it can be overwhelming. We spent most of our adult life trying out these different flavors. But none of them really satisfy our hunger.

So what truly satisfies? I think, it’s about a willingness to let go, to stop being in control – to let life take us in its great stream, to embrace what someone called the ‘wisdom of insecurity.’ Like a river charting an unpredictable course, till it merges with the ocean, and there is no river anymore…
