Decision

A decision makes itself.

It finds its own way, in its own time. Without fail.

We think we made it happen.

And somebody out there, somewhere, is smiling at our innocence.

Sure as can be, a dilemma pops up.

Spinning your brain like a kettle on the boil. Until you relent and sit down to take tea.

There’s always an urgency. A push to resolve. Make a plan. Figure it out. Get it done, now.

You lean away from the insistence. Take a breath. Let the energies settle, as a child might, whose struggle has finally drained out of a tantrum.

You wait.

Without faith.

For Life to make the next move.

To advance the chess piece.

Little could you imagine that you had no move to make. And nothing to do.

That divine timing would swoop in and fill up your plate.

With a meal so rich and sumptuous, no terrestrial chef could compete.

You raise your knife and your fork, to relish the feast.

Or, as readily, toss the main dish, two sides and a dessert right into the trash; and sign-up for cooking lessons to do the honors yourself for the next round.

Life will show you how it turns out. As it always does.

You’re completely off script.

And you can’t get it wrong.

You’ll flip through the decades of your inimitable and astonishing earth-tale. Replete with sound and fury, and a quickening pace.

A plot so engaging you forgot it was a narrative.

You begin at the beginning, or skip to the end. It doesn’t matter …

No big boss is peeking over your shoulder to scold you when you leave the house wearing too much makeup and a frightful hairdo. Or, break bad into another life-disaster you should have anticipated.

Every twirl plays its part in the grand choreography.

You choose, as you must. But you’re along for the ride.

An unfolding so elegant and wise.

Life living Itself, just for you.

“Everything in your life has value and every single thing is a milestone in the most miraculous journey the Divine has ever concocted, just for the joy of dancing as you in form.”
