I learned (taught myself) a lesson the other day. Fantastic how this stuff works…
Moving to Nelson, BC in June was unexpected. Well, not entirely true. I knew I’d be moving in June, but was unclear exactly of the destination, and hadn’t physically prepared for it. In the end, I had to uproot and move within a few days. Regardless, once I was here, and started raving about how it was such a serene abode and landscape – in stark contrast to where I was living before – I still didn’t clue in. Not, at least, until a few friends said “Hey man, that’s good news – exactly what you wanted!” Hmm… What?
Seems we don’t always pay attention to our requests, and their eventual manifestation in our lives (oh, what’s the “law” called now). At least, I wasn’t doing so in this case. It forced me to step back and observe what had transpired in my thoughts, had begun months previous, and landed me here when it did. The physical location (as far as maps go) wasn’t what I was imagining, but everything about this place was pretty much bang on, including my view out the studio window.
Intriguing. And, I did it to myself again, just this week.
Even within the first few days in this small town, I knew I’d be moving again soon, and October jumped out effortlessly from my brain. Splat! All over my mental calendar. Fine, as it would give my sister time to heal up a broken leg, me to do some healing myself, and to figure out the next step: to move, or to stay the winter. The latter was an automatic “uh, no.” And not surprisingly, an opportunity “popped up” for – nearly word for word – a cottage in a small town similar to this, but by the ocean. Honestly, it caught me off guard, even though a part of me should have known better. It was precisely what I’d planted in the soil only 3 or so months previous, and at the exact time it’d be required.
Intriguing. And, I wasn’t prepared… Had to pass on this one, and not surprisingly, it was no longer available within a day or so. Learn, learn, learn.
Today’s lesson to everyone: if you’re going to start trusting the process, and allowing whatever you need to appear when it needs to, then start actually trusting the process. Don’t insult your higher self by saying “oh, wait, um…”
