Uneven Terrain

This pictured sign on the Barton Creek Greenbelt struck me as more than a warning along a hiking trail in the woods. When I saw it this morning my thought was it also could be a way to view life. Being alive and moving forward, we are all going to experience uneven terrain. Ups and downs are to be expected.

Should we fear and avoid the challenges and bumps along our path, or instead be mindful of where we tread and take each obstacle as an opportunity for growth? What do you think?

To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad.
