I want to add a little follow up to Saturday’s post that will lead us into tomorrow’s post as well.  When we are in that mess and can’t make sense of things, we can’t see that the mess is perfectly planned out.  No matter how chaotic, we need to consider that he mess itself is perfect.  The universe is organized in patterns, fractals, shapes, things that look and sound pretty crazy when seen close up.  But when we zoom out, we see the big picture and suddenly that mess doesn’t seem so messy.  Sometimes we need some distance and sometimes we just need some time to find out what that picture looks like.  I won’t deny that sometimes chaos is just chaos—there is always entropy involved somewhere.  But more often than not, we find that it happened for a reason.  It’s easy to get caught up in whatever issue we have, and sometimes there are very real issues.  But they don’t stop the clock—the world keeps turning.

So in a way, remember that we must keep going.  There is no stopping regardless of not seeing the next step, regardless of not knowing where we end up, regardless of not knowing the reason—there is only on because it won’t stop no matter what, not until we do.  The fact that this will all end should remind us to find that blessing in the mess, to remember that there is a bigger picture—we can’t let the little shit, the nonsense we cause ourselves derail us from the reality of what we are.  We can’t forget the absolute miracle that is this world.  The odds, the timing, the mixture, the elements that formed to create the entirety of existence, the absolute magic that all of these things had to come together exactly as they did in order to create this experience.  The fact that we get to be here, is a miracle and there is an entire universe of this and it all works to perfection.  We don’t have to do anything.  I mean, we’ve done some cool stuff as humans, but we don’t need to do anything—we just ARE.
