When there is no discernable direction in which to go, movement in any direction is the first choice. Movement creates space, creates momentum. When there is no movement there is that which is, when there is movement there is that which is now. The difference may be slight, but it's different!
      Space is created because now you have moved slightly out of a pattern, and now something different can come in.
      Movement always occurs, even if YOU are not moving. Try and stand still, just try and stand still in the world. It will change around you without you doing a thing. And that change affects you, impinges upon you.
       Some people move quickly through the world, stirring things up, gathering trophies here and there, accolades. Most people are relatively unknown, or known only to a few, and think that they have little influence.
       Does what you do affect the whole?

       Yes! Even if you are a hermit that lives in a cave, or up in a mountain cabin somewhere, you are emitting a vibration. This vibration affects the plants around you, the animals sense it. The earth knows who you are. And if you are in a big city, steel and concrete all around, it's the same. You may not have people directly near you, but the energy that is this planet knows that you are here.
      Some would say that this kind of thinking is farfetched, that there is no scientific evidence to suggest that the earth is a sentient being. I beg to differ. Ever walk down a quiet country lane at sunset? You can feel it. This thing is alive. 

     How you react to things affects your vibration, which adds to the overall vibration. You contribute. All of the time. How could it be otherwise?
