We could strain for hours today for the meaning of something that may come in an instant next year.<\/p>\n
Let it go.\u00c2\u00a0 We can let go of our need to figure things out, to feel in control.<\/p>\n
Now is the time to be.\u00c2\u00a0 To feel.\u00c2\u00a0 To go through it.\u00c2\u00a0 To allow things to happen.\u00c2\u00a0 To learn.\u00c2\u00a0 To let whatever is being worked out in us take its course.<\/p>\n
In hindsight, we will know.\u00c2\u00a0 It will become clear.\u00c2\u00a0 For today, being is enough.\u00c2\u00a0 We have been told that all things shall work out for good in our life.\u00c2\u00a0 We can trust that to happen, even if we cannot see the place today’s events will hold in the larger picture.<\/p>\n
