The last few weeks have been a tidal wave of change for me. Job. Relationship. Living situation. All of the major areas of my life are currently in limbo. Normally, change scares the hell out of me but for some reason I'm not very intimidated or even concerned about what the next few months will bring. Of course, I have certain hopes but I know that whatever happens, all will work out in the end. I remember being a child and not fully comprehending or appreciating my mother's words. "Everything happens for a reason." It took me a long time to really get what that meant. But now I understand.
Maybe I just had to experience the pain of a few trials so that I could look back at them, from a relatively safe and secure place in life, and see their impermanence. Maybe that experience of looking back provides me with the awareness that I will be okay. I may not be entirely comfortable. I may not be exactly where I want to be. But I will be okay. So why should I worry about what has happened or what will happen? Why not live in the moment and enjoy the ride?
