Who do you call when things go wrong?
I’m not much of a DIY guy. And this is odd because both my father and my brother are. And this has presented me with a problem.
You see my brother now lives in New Zealand and my father now 3 hours drive away. This means either: things don’t get done, I have to learn some DIY or I have to get someone in.
Honestly, I really don’t like any of the options. But then a few weeks ago my partner, bless her, said, ‘Since your dream home’s a farm, don’t you think you’ll need some DIY skills for all those extra jobs on that big property?’
Of course she’s right. On a bigger property there is bound to be more DIY to do. And it was then next that I sliced through an electric cable in the garden. And a little later that I got the the electric hedge cutter lead trapped. When I pulled it free a wire came lose from the casing.
That day that I received an offer from best-selling author. In this offer he talks about the school of life. And it didn’t take me long to work this situation out. The universe was sending me two messages. One spiritual (being cut off from the power source – I’ve not been meditating due to too many meetings and tight deadlines), one physical, the need to get connected to being the person I need to be so the universe can effortlessly bring forth the things I most want to come about.
It was on a scorching afternoon when I pulled myself together and headed around to my neighbour, a former farmer and a dab-hand at DIY.
In the shade of his house, we chatted away for several hours. Listening to him talk about his experience as a farmer, as a landlord and about some of his experiences of DIY. And by the time I left him, I not only felt more connected, but had learnt how to reconnect the wires so they could carry the power.
The Dali Lama was once asked. ‘How long he meditated for each day. His reply was about four hours. He was then asked how often he meditated on busy days and his reply was a shock. ‘Twice as much.’
Staying connected to the Source or power supply is important. You can do this by meditating, or you could go for a walk in the countryside, play full out with your kids or make love to your partner. It doesn’t matter which you choose. They are all spiritual experiences that can reconnect you.
Enjoy!
