There is a rhythm, a cadence to life that moves us along even when we are unaware of its subtle guidance. We humans tend to believe we are the masters of our destiny, that the force of our will shapes the events of our lives. Yet if we look more closely, we can see that the truth is quite different. The happenings of our existence are aligned to currents already in flow long before we arrived in this world. We do not initiate so much as attune ourselves to what is already occurring. This may be difficult for the ego to accept. We convince ourselves that we are autonomous individuals in firm control of our experiences. But think of how many fortuitous encounters, how many so-called coincidences have led you exactly where you needed to go. The people, places, and events that form the fabric of our lives seem to weave themselves together as if guided by an unseen hand. This is the natural cadence of the universe expression itself through synchronistic flow. We do not make things happen – they happen and we follow along. Yet following does not mean passive resignation to fate. It means allowing ourselves to get into alignment with the greater energy and intelligence that choreographs the dance of life. Each of us has free will: the choice to flow or resist this natural rhythm. Resisting it brings tension, exhaustion, fragmentation. Flowing with it enables ease, vitality, and wholeness. It is the difference between forcing the current or being gently carried by the stream. So how can we attune ourselves to the pulse of life? How can we get in sync with its natural cadence? We quiet the chatter of our minds. We breathe deeply into our core. We listen beneath the noisy surface of existence. There in the stillness you can feel it – the cosmic background radiation, the reverberation that hums through everything. Once you become aware of this pulse, this primordial vibration, you can move to its rhythm. You sway to its syncopation. You dance with the cadence of life. This is being in true harmony with our experience. Here, trust replaces struggle. Acceptance supersedes striving. Gratitude flows instead of fear. Each moment resonates with meaning. We open ourselves to the song that is already singing us into being. Though we relinquish the illusion of control, we gain the power of love. For when we blend with the natural cadence – life’s original melody – we realize there was never anything to control in the first place. There is only the eternal music, and the sweet surrender of the dance.
