August 23--What If

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over. 
--Gloria Naylor

    I'm offering these "what if's" from Mike Dooley's "Notes from the Universe" of August 21:

What if loneliness was simply a feeling of impatience, telepathically sent to you by friends you've yet to meet, urging you to go out more, do more, and get involved, so that life's serendipities could bring you together... Would you still feel alone?

What if illness was just the signal a healthy body sent to urge clarification of your thoughts, feelings, and dreams... Would you still, at times, think of yours as unwell?

What if feelings of uncertainty and confusion were only reminders that you have options, that there's no hurry, and that everything is as it should be... Would you still feel disadvantaged?

What if so-called mistakes and failures only ever happened when your life was about to get better than it's ever been before... Would you still call them mistakes and failures?

And what if poverty and lack were simply demonstrations of your manifesting prowess, as "difficult" to acquire as wealth and abundance... Would they still cause you to feel powerless?

    There is a close family situation wherein a mother (not me) has had to be silent and let go as one of her son's enters into a transaction which could be great or could end up with a lot of ugly pieces to pick up. "A time for silence" can be a very challenging thing, but as older adults, we know that the youngsters simply have to learn by going through situations on their own. 

    Forging ahead, one day at a time,
