Surf the tides

Come walk with me, take off your shoes, let’s walk the beach with only the moon to light the path and waves to hear you tell me you love me.
~J. Henson, Oregon

I surrender to my current circumstances.
I cannot go against the tide.
Everything is as it should be.

I am not missing out.
There is nothing that I am “supposed” to be doing except being here right now.
My perceived mistakes and failures are just white water
Pouring into blank spaces and dissipating. Gone and goodbye.

Life is not keeping score. It is NOT pushing me into the depths and abandoning me.

I can and WILL come to the realization that the universe and life ARE supporting me
Even more than I can understand.

My perspective is small. When I look out at this ocean of life, all I really see are a few ripples.
But the ocean is HUGE.
Endless in its currents.
Some strong, some weak, all have their place.

There is no need to have regrets pulling me down.
There is no need to drown in sorrows.

Everything is as it should be.

Certain things are better left to drift away. Gone and goodbye.
Leaving space for the tide to grow higher and higher.
Filling up again.

I saw them stars go off. I saw them stars go off at night. And they’re looking all right.

This is what it feels like to move on

Every intention sets energy into motion, whether you are conscious of it or not.
~Gary Zukav

I had this plan about how things were supposed to work out that went terribly wrong.

But instead I have to believe that maybe there is
something better
brighter
more brilliant
radiant
abundant

Forgive your pain, forgive your past.

You are a good person. NOT a perfect person. You try to do what is right. You don’t always win.

You are loving
forgiving
beautiful
funny, funny, funny

You are going to come alive again!

Good people are going to be in your life.

And the people who’ve walked toward another sunset—you can let them go. Because not all truths and dreams align. I can create a home (homes!) where love abides. I can speak this with my heart and soul. And leave the rest to god.

It’s a big, big world. Love is bigger.
