Give life a chance to meet you in the mystery, in places you didn’t even know you needed to go. Let wonder find you in the small cracks between routines, as you let go of needing every step to be mapped out.
Some of the best moments happen not because you planned them, but because you didn’t resist them. Let yourself be surprised by kindness, by grace, and even by your own strength.
When you let go of your insistence on knowing what comes next, you create a sacred space for miracles to unfold in the unknown and unplanned. Changed an appointment today and now I am off to our County Fair to watch my grandson show his lamb, Gambit, in 4-H Showmanship.
The Universe conspires in ways our linear minds cannot fathom, orchestrating encounters and revelations that arrive precisely when your soul is ready to receive them. Be open and enjoy.
In the gentle surrender of control, you will discover that you are held by something far greater than your own understanding. Afterall, did you ever really have control?
The quiet in-between is where your own resilience surprises you, revealing depths of courage you never knew you possessed. In that power of prayer without words, as my friend Ardis would say.
Trust the unplanned, the sacred pivots, and welcome the unexpected visitors into your heart. Let yourself be surprised by the ordinary magic that surrounds you.
Learning to be surprised is learning to be truly alive, open, receptive, and eternally amazed by the sacred choreography of your own existence.
Happy Thanksgiving to my Canadian friends and Happy Indigenous Day to all my Native and First Nations friends everywhere.
May Peace Be With You, I am off to corn dogs and bar-b-qued corn on the cob.
