I've shared this with many people - my own disappointment in regards to my seeming "lack of faith." What is it with that? This morning following breakfast - after reading some in a new book (that I partially resonate with and partially not) - I decided to take up a pad and just write. The following is what I wrote.
Page 1.
In a strange land where no one knows you and have no expectations whatsoever of you and you can be who ever you want to be - anything you want - yet you remain detached (been seeing a lot of that word lately - and even though this is not the definition I have been reading but this is the word that came to mind), expressionless, non-committal, unexpressive, and aloof - with all your thoughts, your emotions, your dreams & aspirations, your desires & hopes - all supressed - cept for those you deem "appropriate" & "acceptable." Time after time you have been given this opportunity (or you have brought yourself to the opportunity) to be free - truly free. Yet you cling to the "old" and the "safe."
And why? For FEAR. Fear learned over the years of what is right or wrong, good or bad - (the duality of nature) - about you and your world. Fear of being judged, of being taken advantages of, of being robbed or cheated and be made a fool of - treated like a fool and of looking ignorant or stupid.
Consistently and repeatedly you have heard the inner voice gentle and patient and loving - assuring you to "be not afraid, for I am with you" and you have been reminded on numerous occasions (by individuals, circumstances, events and experiences) that you are "surrounded by angels who will protect you," "you are loved," "the Universe conspires for you," "Be open and be free." And still yet - you resist.
Your inner spirit prompts you over and over and over again. And you are brought back to this canvas that you may paint your own world - your own destiny. And you continue to resist - to fight - to struggle - to suffer. Will this time be any different? Is it time to move on? A new world, a new beginning, a new life, a new you?
To be reborn in the image of God - to be who you want to be, to be who you are meant to be .. to be reconnected to the Source of all things (and non-things) ... to be one with God.

Opportunities never knock on your door twice. Or perhaps only on very rare occasions do they do that. Perhaps this is inaccurate? For we also know that if a lessons in not learned, then the "mistake" or the event will repeat itself over and over until the message is received and the lesson learned.
Missed opportunities with a person (or a relationship) for example. Maybe poor choices/decisions led to the missed opportunities. People come and go; they may seem to have changed. And that opportunity that once opened is now lost.
Move on. That opportunity may be gone. That person may be no longer. But "the" opportunity may present itself again - perhaps in another person, another position, another situation, another event. No. Not MAY BE but rather WILL. And the time is Always NOW. For in truth there is no other time than the NOW.
"When a student is ready, the master will appear."
We need only to be open; to be ready, to be without fear. Ad the Universe will unravel herself before our feet, opening herself to every desire of our hearts.
Trust in this. Go with the flow. Be receptive (be open). Be without fear. Enjoy the moment. Let go, and Let God.
Are you ready?
