Yesterday
I was fretting for much of the day about a communication difficulty I
am having with a loved one and with a new family member. I found myself
obsessing over the problem, becoming ever more stressed and tight in
the process. However, my suffering began to dissolve as I was
snowshoeing across a high mountain lake. Suddenly, it occurred to me
that the only ones who ultimately exist in this
situation are myself and the Divine. All things - including all of the
people in my life - are simply the Great Mystery in hiding. And
ultimately, of course, even my own self is meant to become transparent
to the Beloved. When I realized this great truth, my heaviness began to
evaporate, and a profound sense of silence, union and bliss descended
upon me.
