Trust the universe

trust and faith – in love and justice.

FAITH

I want to write about faith,
about the way the moon rises
over cold snow, night after night,

faithful even as it fades from fullness,
slowly becoming that last curving and impossible
sliver of light before the final darkness.

But I have no faith myself
I refuse it even the smallest entry.

Let this then, my small poem,
like a new moon, slender and barely open,
be the first prayer that opens me to faith.

—David Whyte

that i am in the right place already and have things to do here and lessons to learn! Fine!

Once you become self-conscious, there is no end to it; once you start to doubt, there is no room for anything else.”
— Mignon McLaughlin

all will be well.

I guess it’s just another test and another lesson to learn.

As if I really need another reminder that I am strong and I can cope? I guess I do need another reminder about what really matters in life and about my own integrity.

All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end. though you can render no reason.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882)

You are screaming “TRUST!!” at me today with all your gifts!

When this happens it’s hard not to panic and feel that I and my life are heading for a disaster.

I have to learn to trust that “all will be well” and that whatever is coming I can cope.

When I stop quietly and take a look around at my life, as I sit here in my home with the people I love and who love me, I feel alot of love and maybe that has to be enough for the moment. I cannot control the future or change the past.

As the quote at the side of the page says tonight…”aim high in hope….”

I need to trust that my son’s new opportunity will take him more in the direction that the Universe wants him to go and that he wants to go. Trust that the Universe will take care of him and that he will be safe and happy in it’s arms.

what did I do? I ignored it! Where am i now after that day, which could have been a turning point? Still, stood standing, in the very same place, with my head in the sand and my boxing gloves on…..trusting neither the Universe nor myself.

I am looking at the quote at the side of this page….What would you attempt to do if you knew you could not fail? That is a good question and one which may help me move forward if I can spend a bit of time exploring it.

What would I attempt to do?
