At some point most of us realize that we cannot convince the people or control the situations around us, and we move into the much more significant work of being the best person we can be in the midst of it all.
The human condition has us often operating out of fear. We clutch for what we are afraid of losing. We manipulate and chase--with foam sliding down our chins--frantic for what we think we cannot live without. All the while, it would have been given as a gift. Oh that we would know that we are blessed and loved and could be patient for the dazzling gifts to arrive at their anointed time. But we are afraid He isn’t that good and we sure don’t want to wait for what we want right now. What would it look like if we had the capacity to pause and trust, and then dance our wild days with courage and joy as He calls and gives?
Everything is a lot better when both it and we are ready. The adventure will be there, the discoveries and the learning will still be before us, but the preparation that the Timeless Master Creator has readied will make the outcome brilliant and good. You can do something amazing with ingredients that are ripe.
