YOU Are the Universe

What I love about Rumi is that his words are as relevant now as they were 700 years ago.

Stop acting so small. You are the universe in ecstatic motion.
~ Rumi


This whole "trusting the universe" has been around as long as there has been faith. None of it is new. 

And yet, for me, much of it is new. I  am a quintessential Type A personality who has calmed down considerably as I have gotten older. It started in my 40's - when I realized I allowed a lot of drama into my life and it had to stop. By the time I hit 50, I had REALLY cut down on things that I allowed myself to get crazy about. I can say with 100% truthfulness, at 52, I have very little drama.

That is not to say I don't lose my mind once in a while. That is not to say I don't wish for things to just magically happen. That is not to say I don't stray back into the behavior of yore. I am human and so, of course I do. However, NOW I can recognize when I am about to lose my one mind. I can tell when I want something to happen yesterday, or I am fretting about something that I have zero control over.

And when I realize that, I do the following to myself:

I am the universe in ecstatic motion. And that is freaking scary. To let go. To trust. To believe. To have the faith that everything is happening exactly the way it's supposed to. When I do that, my days are easier. My sleep is better. I eat better. I take better care of myself. 

Freaking out isn't necessary. Whatever it is, is whatever it is.

By now you have figured out how the juke box in my head works...go with it and sing along.
