Sometimes, a precious pearl of wisdom will appear when you most need it. The universe knows when you're not paying attention. This happened to me recently, when my friend Julie posted this:
"Some days the power of intention and of choice are so clear that I am left baffled by the individual's pure ability to create her own outcome. Do what you want, you own way."
Lest you think she's a petty dreamer, let me attest that the woman has designed her entire life around this principle. She has lived abroad for several years and has more pushpins than you can count in the global map tracking her travels. I think it's significant that she has a sparkling eye for photography as well: Julie is paying attention to the world, with gratitude, so beautiful things and moments present themselves to her. She captures them lovingly, and the resulting photos become little postcards from the universe to us: "Wish you were here!"
I confess I am baffled by my own capacity for living closed off to possibility, to dreams. Fear is a great influencer or can be. I sometimes think that the letting go of fear is one of the Big Lessons we're supposed to learn in this life. Poke around long enough in your tenderest places, the deep stores where we hoard our fears like precious treasures, and we can find actual terror at the prospect of letting them go. How strange.
The good news is that the heart resides in an even deeper place. And it's patient. It will wait for us to listen to our intuition, our passions, our calling. This is more than simple magical thinking, this is full on participation in life. With some courage and a stock of gratitude, unexpected possibilities will rise up, a new path beneath our feet. It's the road to your way.
Thank you for the reminder, Jules. xoxo
And you?
