Shallow.
Being alive keeps us busy. Just getting around house chores and feeding ourselves, maybe taking care of our bodies, can take most of our time. Then there is work and recreation, and the many projects you may have embarked on. Today we may feel we are barely staying afloat; we must feel good about it because we are being strong, we are pushing through. The little time we get to the special things that are not crucial, but that take us somewhere, is gold. It may feel and might seem shallow when we do them, or when we see some one else doing them, and it is, there is so much more to do, so much better it could be done and so much deeper that we could go. Being that the water has been dammed, the lagoon where we the crocs live is getting smaller by the day. Not just that, since it no longer has running water, sediments, algae and all kinds of nasty things are growing in them. As crocs we are wise and resilient and are able to stay alive by staying close to the surface. There is too much staleness deep down right now. Be tolerant to your shallowness and to that of others. If you can go deeper, then you are fortunate, you have found a pond with source.
Today's energy can be productive and at the same time we might just choose to lay and rest. There are teachings about allowing, about less is more, gain comes through loss, success through inaction; it can teach us about not moving the muds deep down so that we don't ruin our own pond. There is a survival factor to being in this time we cannot disregard. Being shallow is a way to still be here. If we can flow with this, we might find profound transformations and benefits that come about through apparently small or shallow actions and projects. This croc can teach us about mastering the trecena of disguise.
