The Waves of Transformation

Always build your castles on solid land. Start at the foundation always, and with the purest of intention. Pay attention to detail, for in doing so you will know yourself and your “castle” inside and out. Each grain of sand will be familiar with its own story to tell.

If the tide pulls away or destroys any part of what you have built, know that it was never yours to begin with and let it go. Bless it all as it is flushed from your space.

Pick up and examine what is left. Know that in examining all that you have done right, you will learn what not to do “wrong” next time.

As we have said many times, there really is no “wrong” but in this instance we use the word only to mean, learn this time what needs to be done “differently” the next.

You may either start to rebuild right there amongst what is left knowing what you now know, or you may choose to pick up what is left, and move it further from the “ocean’s end.”

Either way you have learned; you have gained. Many times in “loss” you gain so much more than if your faulty “constructions” remain standing on shaky foundations.

Each time you rebuild with what is left behind, you do so with new knowledge. Each “floor” of your “castle” takes time, care and sometimes must come down only to be rebuilt in a different, yet more grounded way.

Yes, the tide will always come rushing in, taking all that is not solid. Be grateful for this natural cleansing, as if we left it up to you, you just might hang onto so much that no longer suits or serves you.

You are becoming a Master Architect, and one day soon, will be able to enjoy the hour of “high tide” knowing you are safe and secure just where you stand. Until that time, know that the “ins and outs,” the “ebbs and flows,” are all a wonderful part of your “building process,” akin to “Letting go and letting God,” “Letting nature take its course” and “Going with the flow.”
