The Glory of "Flailing"
Julie Jordan Scott

I learned something in the last thirty seconds.
I learned that the word "flailing" actually comes
from a whip-like tool that threshes, which in
Merriam Webster words means "separates
seeds from harvested crop."

Two days ago I wrote this:

"I have felt myself flailing around for the past
couple weeks - not feeling very grounded yet
continuing to move, continuing to try to
find my way."

Now that I have 48 more hours worth of wisdom
within me, I realize on an even deeper level the
profound nature of "flailing", something I had
thought before wasn't a good thing at all.

The movement of my flailing allows me to
separate the positive seeds from the stuff which
just needs to dry on the stem and return to dust
and serve a different purpose.  Flailing - without
judging myself, brings to good seeds out into the
open, popping with life and breath and hope.

Here is the rest of what I wrote two days ago:

"I haven't found my way.not 100% AND I have
been able to stay more focused than if I froze
and became motionless. If I froze and became
motionless, I would quickly sink and drown.  It
is through flailing that I make discoveries
and eventually make it to shore.

I might be winded, I might be hungry and I might
need a lot of TLC, but at least I have landed on the
other side. Later I might even laugh at what
took place.and at least I made it.

Yes.

I made it."

Let's celebrate flailing.  Let's stop hurting ourselves
by thinking ourselves wrong and instead allow the
good seeds to fly into the open.  Don't let them be
sacrificed with the stuff that doesn't serve. Liberate
them to continue to add to the increase.
