Wait for the opportune moment, oh my heart.
Everything happens in its own time.
The gardener may flood the orchard with water,
But the trees don’t bear fruit out of season.

This is a very interesting time for me. I am preparing for yet another step in this journey we call life. There are many questions before me. Where I once knew the answers I find that I am redefining all that I know. In less than one month I will be on my way to Korea. The funny thing is I never in all my dreams thought of traveling there although I have always known it existed.
Life is so interesting! I have been many places, and for most people looking at my life it would seem as if I am apprehensive about nothing. However, that is so far from the truth. I have many fears, but more importantly, so many dreams that I wish I had the courage to give permission to flourish. Some days I often wonder if they will, but deep inside there is a knowing that everything I have dreamt will come as it is meant to come. I trust that my dreams have a time that has no regard for the hours or minutes we are so accustom to monitoring. They will become reality in do time, without my assistance, and when I am the most prepared.
I will admit, most of my life I wanted to be in control of how things developed, and what I found was that even in the most controlled moments I was never in control at all. I believe that there is something to be said about allowing things to unfold just as they need. I appreciate the faith of trusting that the spirit which lives inside me knows so much more than I could even imagine.
Just the other day I walked around the neighborhood and took notice of all that I have to be thankful for. I began to think as a child. Children have this unbelievable knowing. They know that without doubt everything will be ok. Even those children who have come into this world with the misfortune of the most irresponsible parents have a trust that life will short them of nothing. I remember that as a child I trusted that the same spirit that gave me life knew just what I needed without question. I was fearless. I woke up ever morning ready to play and to find the adventure in a new day. I had no worries and even if we lacked something I had no idea what lack really was. As I looked around me I saw that abundance was in everything. The trees didn’t question would they grow, they just did. Every spring the flowers that had not bloomed in a year, bloomed. The things that were frozen by winter’s harsh and many times brutal cold began to thaw. So, for me life took care of itself. And even now, when I often don’t take time to notice, it still does.
Today, I am so thankful for this moment of knowing and trusting. I have no idea where my life is taking me, and yet I am so excited to be on this journey. A few years ago, I would have been uncomfortable with the onset of something so new and unknown, but at this point I embrace life as it is given. I know that I will become who I have been destined to become in the time that is right for me. I will not become who someone else wants me to become, nor will I have a need to worry about the process of becoming. This journey, with all of its surprises has been predestined just for me. I am not in competition to get someplace before my time or the time of another. I will arrive in mind, body, and spirit where and when I am suppose to arrive. I have no idea where things are taking me, and yet, I am so assure that I am right where I need to be.
