Breathe, just breathe. Sometimes that’s all you can do. There are days where you see the amount of pain and suffering going on in the world and in people around you and all you can do is breathe, let go and focus on the Divine. I’m having one of those days.
It seems everywhere I look there is stuff going on that feels totally overwhelming and out of people’s control, including my own. I had a mild touch of it personally this morning but recognized it quickly and it wasn’t anything serious, then I started seeing it in others with some pretty devastating personal stuff and in the news with big things like the wildfires and what’s happening in Afghanistan and more Covid news that affects large numbers of people in very significant ways.
And here I sit in my cozy little office at home where life is pretty darn good. So, what can I do?
Listen where I can, share what I can but mostly I am letting go of the fearful feelings and thinking about Love and the activity of Grace, which is also not in my control, but I can certainly focus my attention on it and invite those who are suffering to it in my heart. I can be still and remember the Divine Nature of every human being no matter what the circumstances may be. I can remember there are things beyond my awareness going on and that Divine Order is at work always. What I tend to judge as either good or bad is neither because it is all unfolding in a sea of constant change and I have a belief that it is all here for us, not against us. So I’m not praying for a particular outcome because I do not actually know what the best thing would be. I place my faith in the Divine Unfolding, knowing we are not who we think we are, we are so much more.
Well, it seems there’s more that I can do than I first realized. Isn’t life amazing?
Namaste
