Lately I’ve been noticing the significance of my relationships with some people. They may be fleeting, or coming and going at unexpected intervals or lingering. And some of them are of a permanent nature, like family. But it never fails to surprise or amaze me when the answer to a “why” or a “what” regarding these relationships clicks into place.
*
Why did you just cross my path? Why do you keep returning? And why now? What do you still need from me? Why do you hurt me so deeply? What do I need from you? Or what can I learn from you?
*
And mostly I get those answers after the fact in some kind of light bulb moment bringing clarity. Because in order to get the gifts that is meant to be exchanged between us, we have to actually spend some time together. And it doesn’t always make sense until the exact destined moment when you give or receive a gift. In fact sometimes (or maybe most of the time) we are not paying attention and we do not see / are not aware of our humble mustard seed contributions.
*
But sometimes, if we are lucky, we receive the gift of awareness too that allows us to witness the expansion of our own souls and those of others. And even more blessed and rare are those relationships when both people are aware that something divine is happening.
*
Today I want to say thank you to my friends Steve, Kat, Erika & Monique for each knowingly or unknowingly playing their special parts in the huge shift that is happening in my mind this last month or so.
*
This awareness is teaching me to be open to the possibilities without clinging to expectations so much, and to just go with the flow, releasing my need to control every little thing. TRUSTING GOD’S PLAN. You are exactly where you are supposed to be, doing what you are supposed to do, meeting people and getting pushes to make changes when you are supposed to. It is written. It is destiny. Nothing is random. Every relationship in your life, no matter how random it may seem or how hurtful (specially the hurtful ones) have meaning. It is up to you what you do with it.
