Possibilities

Sometimes I think I'm starting to repeat myself!!! Didn't I just have a posting on possibilities?? Not sure... anyhow... today's posting is hopefully going to be different! I am in the middle of what I call a "nexus" point in life. It's a point of transition, a point where what has been begins to end... and what is yet to come has not yet been born. So all these threads are coming down into this nexus point... and what will come of of that has yet to be revealed. I've experienced it before in my life... and it's not always a pleasant place to be in! It's a time of turmoil and confusion and uncertainty and fear and conversations of no possibilities... Or conversations of possibilities... It's my choice... One of the most helpful things I received when I was studying theology was a little piece in our Lay Spiritual Formation seminar. It was a one page hand out on transitions... how there are endings and a neutral period and beginnings. For me, it is to allow the neutral space to be... a space of confusion and transition... where the past has not quite ended and the future has not quite been born...  I have to have a certain patience with myself during this period and just let it be... I, of course, keep wanting to move forward NOW! I want things to resolve themselves NOW! And I want the future to present itself NOW! Ah well... for me it is to be patient and to allow the universe and the divine spirit to move and create what is yet to come... all of the future is a sea of opportunities... for everything that might come...
