how is it we dream- we question and worry about the future
the future comes and it's nothing like we imagined
sometimes worse, most times just different and then when better---we, i, still question-
hard to let go of thinking things will work like we have seen them in the past-
hard to set about acting on the answers we have been given
such is life, full of endless hours wondering and stilling the fears that ebb into our consciousness-
all is for purpose--could it truly be ----when do the windows open wide enough to see the plan
faith at what's not seen---okay i agree---but what of the world around us---how dissimilar it appears at times
the one foot in the one foot, you know-----
go with it-let it be---stop asking over and over, is this the real thing--is this the story --is this the way
while all around us the rain falls and the seasons do their thing and i take a backwards glance- to discover--once in a while, you can get what you want and it might just be what you need
Questioning keeps you thinking which keeps you wondering. I think you get what you ask for sometimes, but not in the way you imagined it.
ReplyDeleteBTW-wondering and curiosity are two good attributes to have.
i so agree--i think we almost stop living when we stop wondering--thanks d.g. :)
DeleteHow does your brain work so well on a Friday?!
ReplyDeletehaha you are funny--i was just thinking----hmmmm maybe i shouldn't try to write on fridays--have a good weekend judy :)
DeleteThe Stones. Awesome.
ReplyDeletehaha somehow i knew you would get that--love it--thanks suze :)
DeleteYep. Sometimes we wind up exactly where we need to be even though we never thought we would. Happy Friday, Lynn.
ReplyDeleteyeah i like when that happens most of the time--happy friday and weekend to you too :)
DeleteVery nice posting. I have come to learn that often the answers are only in my heart. Def enjoyed reading your posting today!
ReplyDeletei love that--the answers are in our hearts---thanks :)
DeleteIt is nice to get what you want AND what you need- sometimes people get what they want, and then realize it wasn't what they needed.
ReplyDeletehaha so true--but hopefully we can enjoy it until we find out the truth, huh cynthia ;)
DeleteI'm an over thinker and stress about everything. I know it's not likely to change the outcome, but I just can't help it.
ReplyDeleteoh i know very well how you feel---i maybe am a little bit better---i just don't remember all i am suppose to worry about ms a ;)
DeleteAw, very nice. I'm definitely a worrier, unfortunately...
ReplyDeletethanks dana--oh i am one too btw :)
DeleteI am really trying to live in this moment. All the others are uncertain. Of course, it goes against every fiber of my being, but I am trying.
ReplyDeletei hear ya juli--i am trying the same thing and it is so darn hard :)
DeleteA nice thought provoking essay Lynn; I enjoyed reading it. Thanks.
ReplyDeletei am glad you did---thanks so much anthony :)
DeleteHi Lynn,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your post, and so often the uncertainty in life is so hard to fathom.
Have a happy weekend
Hugs
Carolyn
i know--i think most of us think we want to know what is going to happen but maybe we really don't--hugs to you too! thanks carolyn :)
DeleteThoughtful and lovely. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeletethanks christine--hope you have a good birthday weekend :)
DeleteI like your thought about the future coming and it is not like we imagined it, whether it be good or whether it be bad. I'm a worrier and a thinker and a "what if" etc., I just need to be still sometimes and let that faith really take root and trust God knows what is best for me....
ReplyDeleteI do hope the weekend is a nice one!
betty
we all struggle with letting go and letting God---it's this imperfect body we are in---thanks betty--have a great one yourself :)
DeleteI'm been so busy lately, I haven't taken time to reflect on the past or look to the future. I need to do that.
ReplyDeletesometimes that's better susan :)
DeleteSometimes I think we think too much!
ReplyDeletei think so too, karen :)
DeleteWe never know where our path may lead. I try to take day at a time, and not question it too much. I believe the universe unfolds as it should.
ReplyDeletei believe your way too--i just keep forgetting---thanks sherry :)
DeleteIt is always a good idea to stop and reflect. I helps you to see where you have been or need to go. Thanks for stopping by, Laura
ReplyDeleteyes, recently i have come to appreciate the art of reflection---thanks laura :)
DeleteI think and stress too much! I try to live for today, but yet you do have to plan for tomorrow somewhat. Hope you had a nice weekend!
ReplyDeletei stress way too much too marie---i can't seem to keep letting go---i did have a pretty good weekend--although it was kinda stressful--hope you had a nice one :)
Delete"Go with it and let it be"--so perfectly stated, and so perfectly what I need to hear. Thanks, Lynn.
ReplyDeletehaha i am glad to help! thanks meredith :)
