all of life is relevant

"You must understand the whole of life,
not just one little part of it.
That is why you must read,
that is why you must look at the skies,
that is why you must sing and dance,
and write poems,
and suffer,
and understand,
for all that is life."

this krishnamurti quote pointed me back to the relevance of a steady iching practice.
often we want to 'live' all of life yet become stalled at certain points of discomfort, fear..etc. i.e. whatever prevents us from taking that next step toward a freedom we've tasted and know is there.. yet sometimes seems so far away.
the amazing thing abut the iching is that it teaches us how to navigate through these 'blocks'. naturally. there is no set formula or script. it is about fine-tuning our link to that creative impulse within ourselves in a way that each moment we trust .. we trust we are in the flow of things. we know it cuz we feel it. and each mment we make the next best move.
life becomes an action. a movement. a flow
to do that is to allow ourselves to face everyting and avoid nothing. it is only in facing life that we can truly live it.
we are meant to be active, engaging, aware, moving manifestations of energy and light throgh this world. ... it is our birthright .
that which prevents us (usually ourselves lol through our volition).. that too can be yielded to.
