Calm

Today was a peaceful clear and sunny morning. It's amazing how easy it seems.The sun doesn't strain. It just uses what it has. I've often observed that I am not as good as taking it as it comes. I can't figure why that is. I wonder if that is something that I have conditioned myself to do or if it an innate human characteristic.

It seems that I often strain even when there is nothing to strain against. I wonder if I would be lost without the strain? Perhaps at some level, I expect life to be hard and so it is. Are there people who just expect life to be easy or effortless? How did they get that way? The most important question - can you undo the conditioning?
