Let the things show you what they are at the time they are ready to show it to you, to make themselves known and seen, or better yet – recognized – because the observer is the one that sees here; their essence is, for most purposes, uncaged or at least stabile in its mutability.
Are you impatient? I know I am, and have been for as long as I remember a relationship with myself. Sometimes I regarded it as strength, other times I recognize it is a weakness making me less of what I could be. Sense of urgency in getting things done trumps dilly dallying the days away, even stagnation with effort is superior to stagnation without it, but the constant impatience in the world you live in is a corrosive agent, gnawing down on your inner peace in the arrogance of somehow presuming you know best when the right time for things to unfold in this universe is. Until you see impatience like this you believe it to be helpful in your busy busy life. Is it busy or is it keeping you busy, do you need it to be busy and why do you need it to be busy? What happens when the busyness stops and why so impatient for it to start again? Do you feel like you’re wasting time if you stand still and just be? Is the impatience for action only for the sake of action making you get less from your experiences. Things take time. Better things take more time than the less good ones. All things are a process and you are not omnipotent in a way to freely flow up and down the timeline, but you are omnipotent within your mind to accept and surrender to the wise advice of an imaginary song mom talking to her imaginary song daughter: – “Que sera sera, whatever will be will be, the future’s not ours to see, que sera sera”.”
Don’t force it, surrender to the unknown and unknowable, gently hug the things you don’t (and can’t) understand, the structures far too complex to be grasped in their entirety. Surrender to the notion that no amount of your agitation and emotional buildup of anxiety and urgency inside will not speed the process unfolding. You can only speed up your part by deciding to put more time and effort in it but you’re only part of the infinite puzzle. Surrender and let go of the need to control the outside world, going mad when something in the schedule you’ve constructed to control it shifts. Surrender to the calm understanding that it will happen at its own time whenever that it is… or it may not happen at all – that is also a fact and a possibility to be accepted and embraced. Do your best without being tied to the final outcome. You just can’t know and may find a curve ball or a pot of gold around the next corner, don’t hurry to reach it, enjoy the scenery of now. Everything is in motion, everything is going on all of the time everywhere. Have some patience, your turn will come.
