12. In chaotic times
Wed Feb 29, 2012, 06:11 AM
Feb 2012

I've been through enough chaotic times in my life to have learned that the way through chaos is to stay true to the things I know are true, which are what Rick said. Stay loving, stay selfless, know that we live in a universe in which love is the energy and unifying force, and trust that a
G-d of infinite wisdom, love, and creativity is in charge. There is reason behind the chaos.

I picture life at such times like a blanket at a picnic, with everything still laid out on it. It's as though the cosmos picks up the corners of the blanket and shakes it so that everything flies up in the air. Everything eventually comes back down, but who knows how things will settle out? With everything up in the air, the opportunities for change, for new configurations, are infinite. By staying true to the pole star of love and trust, though, by making the choice to reject fear and despair, even though we aren't in control, our own attitude toward what's happening makes all the difference in creating a good outcome.

Be the light, be the love. Trust and be calm.
