Gifts

This morning at 2 am I was awakened by strong wind. I lay there and thought, awesome, no sleep for me. Then I realized that yesterday was the last day of Mercury Retrograde and all those deep dark emotions that surfaced needed to be whisked away for the new energy to emerge.

I’m not a huge fan of the wind, but I know it happens for a reason. Everything happens for a reason and sometimes we don’t know what that reason is, and we may never know, but we need to trust that the Universe knows what we need most, when we need it.

Going with the flow is the best bet, taking everything in and not judging it but allowing it to be in our presence to bring to us the gift it is meant to bring.

I know sometimes you get something handed to you and think, what on earth is this here for? It’s painful, it’s too much, it’s scary, I can’t deal with this now. I promise if you drop the judgment of whatever it is and simply ask, “Why is this here for me? What is the lesson I am to learn from this? The answer will come. Be patient, sometimes whatever it is, just needs to simply be in your presence. You may have to sit with it a while. It may be there just to show you that you can actually be with something that you thought you could never be with. Until you learn that it won’t kill you, like you thought it would, it will remain, and when you learn that it is not as bad as you thought, it will move on.

For those who are impatient, may they find the peace to be with whatever comes their way. May they have the courage to be with those things they find terrifying and learn from them. May they know that this will bring them strength and knowledge to share with those they love and those that need their guidance.
