Ephiphanies
For whatever reason, I’ve been blessed with great realizations that have dropped out of nowhere (which in other circumstances could be known as “now here”) and…today was a really lucky day.
I can’t explain the way these epiphanies happen. Sometimes they seem random but my real guess is that it’s usually when I stop trying to control everything and just let things–against my will–that things happen. Good things. Life-giving things.
I’ve been busy lately and as I’ve felt the stranglehold on my usual routine loosen, magic happens. A great, great concert on Saturday. Lots of good things Sunday. And a Monday full of things that can only be attributed to pure luck or the universe stepping in and simply giving me a break because I’ve been working so hard…spinning my wheels, really, at things that should be pretty easy.
Tom today said that I should enjoy all the great things I bring to the world around me…and I laughed…because all those great things feel like pure gifts…I don’t necessarily work that hard to get them…but the joy is nothing but pure and real. I laugh it off or think nothing of it but…I had an epiphany about it…
…things are good. And I’ve worked hard to have it that way.
