Not only do I believe but I have experienced the universe conspiring to my happiness when I get out of my own way.
For several years, I have been aware of this and for several months, I have been aware that I wasn't the only one who was aware of it and for several days I have been writing this entry in my head...
But in the last 2 days, everything came together for me and it crystallized around a sad event in my friend, Amanda's life and her response to it.
Amanda experienced the need for OTHERS to give, therefore someone else needed to receive!
This critical element is now so obvious to me and it occurs to me that it is so invisible to many others.
In my life I see countless acts of kindness and generosity. I see the delight in the face and eyes of the giver (THE GIVER!) as their act of grace is authentically appreciated.
Most people like to be the giver and eschew the role of receiver. I understand this and I see the fallacy of this was of thinking. It's like so many other things that we intuitively understand: like exhaling after inhaling, for example.
Giving only exists when there is a recipient.
Being a clearing for a gift of grace in the absence of deserving or non-deserving, is where miracles show up.
Think about it. Chime in.
