August 21, 2015 – Musings on love lost and waiting for love to be found.

I went for a walk in the woods today and found myself sewing together pieces of my puzzle.

Tidbits of understandings, mini-epiphanies, heartfelt chunks of midlife wisdom.

I understand that the Universe has thrown lesson after lesson at my feet.

I have tripped over them.

Wallowed in them.

Shed tears because of them.

Questioned the existence of God in spite of them.

Until I faced them, understood them, got to know my part in them.

And then, I stepped back, laid them down, gave them my gratitude and bid them farewell.

It leaves me standing here in solitude feeling quite sure that there is another human being who has mirrored – and is mirroring – my experience in this life.

We both stand, drifting purposely, towards a future that has already been laid out by something so much greater than either one of us.

So, here I wait.

And live.

And savor.

And appreciate.

I need not feel harried, impatient, unfulfilled or doubtful.

I need only be present.

Right here. Right now.

Nothing more. Nothing less.

Everything is unfolding just as it should.
