I went to visit my adult daughter recently. It was my first visit to her home which is located in Fort Bragg, NC, and though it is base housing and modest, her natural sense of beauty created a cozy and lovely living space. One of her items captured my attention…a large glass jar filled with wine bottle corks and a string of tiny white lights intertwined amongst the corks.
It reminded me of my life…how sometimes my path is clearly lit and other times (admittedly most of the time) the next light is hidden, waiting to be revealed. During these unclear times, I could choose to feel lost and frustrated, splashing about frantically in my own “jar of corks” searching for the next light. When I am centered in my truth, however, I know that the next step, or light, will be revealed in time, when the Universe in Its infinite Wisdom, knows I’m ready and prepared to move forward.
But what to do in the meantime? (Look at that word “meantime.” I often feel that the time in-between the lights IS a mean time). I am learning to just BE, to sit and wait, not with my hands folded neatly in my lap but rather in quiet stillness, meditation and confidence that the next step IS on its way and will be revealed. In time.
Follow your lights!
