Nothing Happens By Accident

I witnessed something that brought this home to me yesterday. I was visiting a store that has ushered me along on this journey. Thanks PJ for your guidance! There were 2 women there engrossed in choosing a talisman. One of them was holding each one to find her match. The other was there to help. As they went through one after the other, I sensed them getting a bit desperate to find the one that matched her energy. They were clearly having trouble. The guide was coming up with possible solutions. Grasping onto one, then another, then another. I was feeling their frustration. Then, finally she found one. Whew! I was glad. She was only able to find the right one when she didn't try so hard. I looked for my lesson.

I have been spending much of my time lately looking inward, reading and absorbing an abundance of information. Dwelling on a better way, a more fulfilling way, an enlightened way. I know I've made progress. In the last few days though, I have been feeling uneasy as I try to categorize and internalize and have felt a bit lost. I know my old way is gone but I can't quite stand firm in the new way yet. Yesterday's experience was yet another message for me to be patient and just let go. In the right time, things will fall into place and I should quit trying so hard myself.
