AN ANGEL UNAWARE...WITH US ALWAYS

Toward the end of last year, 2019, and before the pandemic came calling at the beginning of this year, 2020, I talked to my mirror often about feeling like I was on the verge of change...my inner self almost felt at 6s & 7s. And I unselfconsciously opened up to new and different people, places and ideas. 

At the time, I was agreeable to take from that my willingness to open, to seek new and different. I recall wondering if that might not be the extent of my change...that I could and would unselfconsciously open myself. I would have been satisfied with that for that is an unplanned but  continuing change. 

This morning I read my Rohr "Daily Meditation," about liminal space, and Brandan Robertson wrote: In moments of transition, we are simply to be. 

That gave me another plus for my pre-pandemic trepidation...when I was unsure but not anxious about what I was feeling or why.

In reading further I recognized, not only now going through this pandemic, but at any time, all of us can, and need to, choose to hold a grateful thought for our being just as we are right this very minute.

As Robertson wrote: We are to pause and acknowledge that a transition is taking place. Instead of seeking to abruptly pass through a threshold, we are to tarry. . . . A new reality is emerging, but we cannot see beyond the threshold. All we know is that we exist in this moment, where everything is in transition. We may experience a new way of being, but we cannot yet sense what it will look like.

I take this to heart because it does not name the change, but simply that a transition is taking place. When is that not true? Every minute of our breathing life, a transition is taking place. Unknown to us in specificity...an angel unaware, actually, with us from beginning to end. 

Know it. Bless it. Or love and laugh.

Thank you.
