Meditation for today
2006 March 19
This is my current mantra. I often need to remember not to struggle so hard against the universe. Things work out. They do. Like when I ended up at a terrible university because I’d had my only real bout of teen rebellion about college applications but that being at this university meant that I went to Cambridge and met Ed? The universe unfolded.
Sometimes I just wish it’d unfold a bit quicker.
Amen, sister.
I find it comes in waves. A bunch of things will happen at once, as it is for me now . . . but just before this I was ready to give up and completely quit. Life is funny!
This is so true. There have been so many instances in which I’ve thought, “This is the worst thing that could have ever happened to me”, yet when I look back, I realize that it happened for a reason.
Guess who is gettong TWO magnets now!
Metaphysical, of course, and ponderously exact.
We are all expanding gasses. It only makes sense that things work out, eventually, because if they didn’t, we would simply explode with the pointlessness of it all.
But, ah, there is always a direction, regardless if we see it or not. And it should (sometimes) just move a bit faster. Please.
But Earth is spinning on such a slanted axis, we forget that we are spinning, at all.
Things usually work out, in the end, if we let them. My favourite quotation is -
‘The mills of God grind slowly, but they grind exceedinly small’
My second is ‘what goes around comes around’ which is pretty much the same thing but more vindictive >;-)
Dissonant note F — it ain’t true if you were unfortunate enough to be Jewish in middle Europe in 1941, or the wrong Rwandan tribe in 1994, or or or or. It’s a question of who when and where you are. And if it is unfolding in the way that it should, and causes this, the person or thing who organised it is pretty immoral.
I just read this last comment, and it sums up my conflicted feelings about God lately. I want to believe He is there and he cares, etc… but it’s impossible to look at the above list of “or or or” and not think that I’d (almost?) feel better thinking no one is responsible on a grand scheme.
