allow things to unfold naturally.

... the universe throws us a bone!

I had sent an old friend an invite to my son’s graduation – as I did to many long lost folks from the past – hoping, in some cases, to maybe renew old friendships.

Well, he never came, never wrote, never called – nada.

I left it be. I had long since decided – because of the way we had left things in our friendship (only friendship) that if he decided to make the effort – then sobeit. Otherwise, sometimes friendship are not meant for a lifetime. You’d have to know the history to understand how I arrived at that point.

Anyhow. He called today. The message was funny though. If I were my former self I would have been reactionary & hurt. “You may remember me, Brent, from a few years ago, I have something you need to come get… blah blah blah” WHAT?

Well, I simply called with no expectations. Turns out it was just an ackward message. We are getting together for dinner on Thursday… he has a son – August (that’s his name)... & he is moving away from the city. Life is going splendid for him & I couldn’t be more pleased – other than the part about moving 90 miles away.

I let it run it’s course – sometimes things need that – relationships need time to breathe… sometimes we find our way back to one another… other times not…

All in the natural order of things… NATURALLY!

... it’s way into my life whether I like it or not.

There is a natural order to things. A universal order & balance. If we allow them to fall off balance, well, God/The Universe will see to it that all evens out.

I’ve been stuck for a good long minute. But, essentially, heart & soul – I’m a doer. Something that I don’t think I like or want happens & my best self wants to spring into action & “DO”.

Just Do It… right?

Wrong… sometimes…

Sometimes God is looking for us to sit still & listen – not forever – but have enough faith to wait & listen for direction. I’ve been stripped of EVERYTHING… other than my son. Lord knows I’ve even lost my second set of parents.

Now, the attorneys & the courts have determined that I am not entitled to ownership of my car. I must give it back. (long story)

I’M LISTENING GOD… COULD YOU SPEAK UP!?

I know I must just let go & allow it all to unfold naturally but inside I’m screaming to “fix” it.

Let go… Let God… Hurry Up… lol

... & Let God!

I know it is cliche… but still somehow resonates with me!
