The Language of Letting Go, July 21
JULY 21
You are reading from the book "The Language of Letting Go."
Being Is Enough
We are not always clear about what we are experiencing, or why.
In the midst of grief, transition, transformation, learning, healing, or discipline, it's difficult to have perspective.
That's because we have not learned the lesson yet. We are in the midst of it. The gift of clarity has not yet arrived.
Our need to control can manifest itself as a need to know exactly what's going on. We cannot always know. Sometimes, we need to let ourselves be and trust that clarity will come later, in retrospect.
If we are confused, that is what we are supposed to be. The confusion is temporary. We shall see. The lesson, the purpose, shall reveal itself - in time, in its own time.
It will all make perfect sense - later.
Today, I will stop straining to know what I don't know, to see what I can't see, to understand what I don't yet understand. I will trust that being is sufficient, and let go of my need to figure things out.

It is right on target for me too. I really really wish that "gift of clarity" would have been shipped Overnight Express, but I need to accept that it may very well arrive on the slow boat from China, and I simply can't rush it.
BTW, Dontreallycare, I love your sig line!
