Flying in the Slow LaneWritten by Maureen Killoran

pointing to toy animals far below. "No," said our pilot placidly. "Cows." They turned out to be horses, but who cared. For duration of our flight, nothing mattered, and that was perhaps biggest lesson of morning. Letting go of anxiety. Letting go of fear. Letting go of expectations. Letting go of everything -- except absolute pleasure of quiet flight, confidence in balloonist’s competence, and sensitivity to beauty of that is our gift for living in these hills. Take a hot air balloon ride. Treat yourself to a massage. Walk in early morning dew. Listen –really listen-- to insects, birds. Smile at a cat you haven’t met. Take time for slower things and Life will find a thousand ways to turn blessing back to you. © Maureen Killoran, 2005

We find it hard to have faith in abundance, because we haven’t made it happen ourselves. If we know how to drive a car, it’s easy to believe that someone else can drive a car. But we don’t know how to create pure abundance in our lives, so it’s hard to believe that it can happen. But that belief is fundamental to our ability to know that abundance. We must let go of philosophy that we can only prosper by taking away from someone else, or that our prosperity means someone else’s deprivation. The first brings us avarice; second, guilt. And dwelling on avarice or guilt won’t bring success—it will bring more avarice or more guilt! Only dwelling on abundance will bring it to reality in our own lives.
