Great Timing

 Life is always operating on perfect time (time may be an illusion but it does serve in many ways). The last blog post was about the impersonal nature of Life. Not easy to grasp for so many reasons but as previously stated, perfect time for being the focus of some pondering of late.


There is a project unfolding in the house this week (John took some vacation time for it). There is painting going on and some finishing work that the last owners had not completed when they had done renovations several years ago. John is a detail man. When a project is undertaken it's hard to know exactly where it's going to go because there is a tendency to look after all those little details along the way. The end result is great but the process can be a little rocky, as anyone who has done any kind of renovation or sprucing up can attest to.

The reason the timing is so perfect with what was written the other day is that there can be some crabby moments when the focus is on an ever expanding project and it's important to remember, it isn't personal. Those grumpy moods aren't about anyone, they're just what is going on in the moment of dealing with lots of detail and being focused on the project. Best bet is to stay out of the way and allow whatever needs to happen to unfold.

There is much gratitude for this awareness; there have been times in the past when this was not so and life was not fun.

Namaste
