Then at one point, I found I could no longer do it. Though a small thing, it felt as if a limitation was being imposed on me that I didn’t need to accept, so I decided to pray about it. As I did, I came to see that it was right for me, as God’s creation, to be flexible, because flexibility is a quality of God, Spirit.
