In discussing our current (as in time) search for the next thing to do (and its current direction), a close friend commented that she didn’t know if it was the “right” thing to do. And I agree that I’m not quite sure yet that it is the right thing—though getting close.

But that’s the quandry isn’t it? What is the right thing? What does “right thing” mean? The whole point of updrafting is to find the right current (as in a moving force) and catch a ride, so getting a sense of rightness is important. But I don’t think you can use “logic” (or any set of rules) to find it—though you use logic to help you understand it.

An updraft is an established movement of potential. It flows into your life without stress, because its part of your updraft, part of you. And if you recognize it, that is, see it at all, you have to then examine your relationship to it. Why are you interested? Why has it come to you? Are you compelled? Is there any negative relationship to it? (That is, are you shifting into it from fear or dread or because you just want to get things settled. Or are you enjoying an ego trip because it came your way?)

It seems like you have to let the current play out and just bob in it freely seeing how it moves and exploring how it interplays with other currents and drafts in your life. Time will tell. Time always tells because the actual world is always presenting itself to you. And if you can be simple and honest with yourself, you will evolve your choice and find yourself in a current. And whether it is “right” or something else, it will become your life and then every new updraft will meet you there. No worries.
