It never ceases to amaze me just how everything can change and yet things are entirely the same.
I guess what I'm talking about here is how quickly the world that lives in your mind can change. It can go from focusing so much on one thing...and then...SNAP...it changes to something else completely.
And whatever was taking up all the space in your mind before exits quickly. It disappears as if it was never there before. Something that was causing you so much pain originally no longer has its roots in your mind.
As much as I couldn't grasp this when I was younger, I really do believe in good timing. I believe this now because of how many things I have seen changed when you give it some time and space.
I used to think that things, with enough effort, could be "made to happen." But, as time has gone on, I really have started to see the world as a gigantic ebb and flow of waves. Even more, I've realized the analogy of the "kid on the swing" is incredibly powerful. If you push at the wrong time...disaster strikes.
But if you push at the right time, there's hardly any effort involved.
This has been running through my mind and changing the way I've been doing things. It makes me understand patience very well. It makes me understand, really, that patience is one of the marks of someone who truly is showing up in the world as how it actually is. When you are impatient, you are trying to make things happen forcibly...
And that never really works.
Patience and trust in something far bigger than you.
There have been things that have happened in my life lately that has started to put new fine and blood into me. They've given me the energy to pick things back up and move forward again.
It's amazing how fast things can change. Life can go from chaotic to peaceful.
