Life As It Is

Life is filled with leavetaking.  I don’t need to try to control every little thing.  Instead it’s best to let the process of life- and death- unfold as it will.  I haven’t been feeling well lately, but I know it takes time to heal.  Being impatient about it, or looking for shortcuts, doesn’t fix anything.

So here in this moment, I embrace life as it is.  I will get through whatever life bestows, or throws (!) on me.  

I trust in God.  And sometimes, life is good.     Theresa M

Memory wakens

in dreamlike misty shadows

Light, longing are near.

            

                

Is There Time?

This past year has seemed longer than usual, with its ups and downs, drama and comedy, worries and delights.  But doesn’t every year have all that?  Of course it does.  There really is no way to make time change its course.  It just goes a-walking steadily forward.  Its destination?  Huh, I really don’t know!

All I know is I’ve got to set my own course, steadily forward.  No turning around, no attempt in changing what is past.  To live with no regrets helps ease anxiety.  I can use all the cliches I want, but “it” is what it is, and I accept “it.”

Getting older isn’t all that bad, as I’ve taken the time all these years to learn from my experiences, as well as those of others.  I don’t need to stress out so much as I did when I was younger.  Somewhere within, the answers manifest themselves to lead me in a direction I need to follow.  Another cliche?  Trust in the process.

My affirmation:  I trust in God and the direction he leads me in life.

May you too find a way when there is no way.    Theresa M
