Good vibes
Posted on | November 14, 2006 |
My sister is here, from across the country, and she’s brought a good vibe with her. Aside from being a saint—making exquisite food, plying me with yummy wine, and bathing my kid, she’s also given me some space to unfurl a little. To talk, to feel safe, to unscramble. She’s perceptive and determined and encouraging, and it’s been just what I’ve needed: to soak up her affection, knowing that she gets me in a different way than anyone else does. And maybe because I’ve allowed myself to let go just a little, and let my guard down just a twinge, all sorts of good omens have come my way regarding grad school.
Whenever I’m contemplating big ideas or changes for my life, I sort of send out a universal query, before I wholly commit. Then I wait to see what the universe says. In this case, I got a big YES from four different sources yesterday, and that made me feel good. So good. So I’m trusting that I’ll get all the pieces figured out and get the applications sent in on time. Trusting that my life will take me where it needs to go.
It’s been the first time in a long while that I’ve felt like things were going to be okay. And therein lies the lesson: let go just a little and trust. See what happens.

Ah, yes, but letting go is the hard part. And so is listening out for the answer. I’m afraid I need lessons on listening to the universe. My own internal dialogue seems to drown out everything else.
I’m glad you have a good line of communications going though

My life has always been about letting go a little and getting back a lot. Lovely painting

Hooray! Glad you’re feeling softer, more liquid. Sisters will do that for you, won’t they? I’ve been away awhile (with sisters of mine, softening a bit myself) and I just returned and read all of your Nov posts. Love hearing this much from you!! Wanted to comment on each one, but little baby is needing my full attention so often these days. Anyway - all this to say I love you, C…keep breathing, keep shaking out the jewels of beauty and peace and truth, (don’t) keep a stiff upper lip, blubber like a fool, keep writing, keep sharing, keep creating.
xoxo
