Here's a nice, spooky October picture for you. I'm just sitting here thinking that I'm at my best when I believe, when I see magic, and when I allow myself to dream wildly. And I am a big dreamer. I'm lost in daydreams more often than not. And lately, I'm realizing that my heart always knows the truth. I may second guess it, when the world gets in the way, and when my mind begins to tear off into overdrive, but if I get back to the quiet, my heart always knows the truth.
Yesterday, my friend was struggling with her new printer, and she became incredibly frustrated about it. And I said, "Keep trying. You'll figure it out." Today, I ran into her again, and I smiled and asked, "Hows about that printer?" She responded, "Yes, I got it fixed, and when I went back to the store, I realized it's now on sale, and I was able to get some money back." I responded, "See, it was a divine plan." She smiled and said, "Yes."
I may wrestle with uncertainty. I may become frustrated with things, or I may think that some situation is a mess but perhaps, it is unfolding in a way that is better for me, and I just don't know it yet. Like that printer situation. Like so many things in life that are weaved together in strange ways.
It reminds me of this: I have no idea. No idea at all. I have to allow the gentle, divine surprise to enter my life, and with time, it will. It always does.
And when I was cleaning my apartment tonight, muttering random frustrations, I stopped myself, and I said out loud to you, to God, to the ghosts, to myself, "There must be a reason for all of this. There must be a reason. This is not all for nothing. It is all unfolding this way for some purpose. I don't know what the result will be, but I do know this: no matter what happens, this love I feel...it never goes away."
