Sometimes, my connection with the angels will wane when it rains and even under other situations like stress and strain. This happens mostly when I’m tuckered out, sleepy, grumpy or any of the other seven dwarfs. It certainly makes it difficult to concentrate. The angels want us to accept our humanness during these times. Thank goodness it’s only temporary.
As rain enveloped the golf course, it proved to be a soggy start to the two-day Member-Member tournament. I was sporting rain gear from head to toe, with ten towels in tow and eight spare gloves. By the time we arrived at the last four holes, we were squishy and our grips were squashy, making it impossible to hold on to the club. Duck tape would have helped, but there was none to be found.
Cart path meant our shots were furthest from the path for additional exposure to the elements. The majority of my energy was on maintaining dry grips and keeping up with superfluous supply of towels and gloves…not an easy task. A real life caddie would have come in handy!
This additional exertion depleted my energy and diminished my perceived flow of guidance. Although I unceasingly called forth assistance from the Golfing Angels for target lines, club selection, and reading the soppy greens, it became challenging to hear their helpful suggestions with dampened focus my mind was fuzzy. Their usual coaching, rooting, motivating and cheering with pompoms were not easily sensed. The angels even turned up the volume on their messages in the control room and hooked up additional boom boxes to clarify the communication—imagination is everything!
Here’s the angels two-cents…”When tiredness prohibits and lessens the lines of communication, relax, do your best and realize that trying too hard is detrimental. That said, accept the moment as it is recognizing it’s short-lived, and after good needed rest your angelic connection will return. Sometimes it rains, and if you resist it, it only makes it worse. We’re not referring to rain as precipitation, but as a metaphor of our connection . . . sometimes it wanes. Be gentle with yourself, have fun and go with the flow. We’re always with you rain or not.”
