The universe continues to unfold in each moment
Let it
You don’t have to control or hold on to anything
Just take time to pause and listen to your inner wisdom
Trust it’s soft voice
Mistakes and challenges have helped you grow into who you are today
Embrace whatever happens, knowing that you will continue to learn and grow
Nothing has gone wrong
Life continues in its highs and lows
Don’t take it personally
We are all in this together
Beautiful words, Val and I love the image! I love the fractal spiral unfolding. The unfolding Universe.

Of course, it’s hard to re-cognize the gold when we’ve just learned that a loved one has cancer, or that a friend has died, or that our child has been molested, bullied, or killed by a sniper at school.
After commenting here, I saw Linda’s post about her mother’s cancer. Compassion for her anguish kept me from echoing my thoughts here.
“Anything can be a gift of gold in disguise” . . . but at times we are too distraught to mine for the gold.

I hear you Nancy … yet, time can also help us see things more deeply and differently, even with a cancer diagnosis. When I was with my Mum in September she looked at me and said “There is more to life that shoes”. I said “Yes! Or even handbags Mum”
We are all where we are on the road of life. Sometimes the toughest times bring an appreciation for life and what we have. It can be a wake up all wherever you find yourself on the path. ❤️ There is good for us all….

These are not simple words.
They are simply the best.
For one to understand.
If understood, nothing like that.
They boost life itself.
I have been lately writing some poetry.
Impressed by people like you.
Wont you read them.

Yes, it can indeed be tough Val. When my father was in his eighties he used to worry about what would happen if the trees fell down in his garden. He had a perfectly healthy Silver Birch removed ‘just in case’. 😮
