    The Golden Line

    On finding the flow

    See this paper with music Β»

    Our modern world is built on plans, and conventional wisdom tells us we’d be fools to do just about anything without them. But what gets lost when we become overly attached to our plans? How do we respond when life confronts us with something unexpected? Do sacred messages come to us not only through beauty and blessings, but also through barriers? As the old saying goes, if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans. The Golden Line presents a playful alternative to our modern obsession with planning.

    The Golden Line

    On finding the flow

    Featuring Peter Plan

    Plans are fine,And please the mind  β€” 

    But, held too firmly,And you’ll find  β€” 

    That plans can block out life’s surprise,Dull the ears, and dim the eyes  β€” 

    From sensing what’s in front of you,Speaking softly what to do  β€” 

    Signals from reality,Always fresh, and ever new.

    So, take a step,Then pause, and feel  β€” 

    What comes next  β€” And then, it’s real.

    And, as you go,The path, concealed  β€” 

    Within the flow,At last, revealed.

    Not straight, but true,And so refined  β€” 

    The wisdom ofThe Golden Line.
