Open to the world

Over the past few months I have had more and more synchronistic events in my life. It seems that that more I believe that the world will open up for me, and the more I open myself up to experience the unfolding of my journey, the more the world opens up around me.
Maybe that is what made Pirates so successful. They knew they could not control the wind or the sea; they could only respond by adjusting the sails and the rudder. They could focus on their final destination, but had to let many of the daily details unfold in front of them. They had to be open to opportunities that appeared on the horizon, and be willing to change tack on their journey.
It seems like a partnership. If I am willing to really show up for my life, be present and aware, bring my best self forward, then I have done my part. Life unfolds in front of me because I am ready and open.
As a pirate I need to sail the ship well, but I do not need to plan every adventure.
