I was thinking back to a time when a major fire shut down the main train line that took people from the Bay Area to San Francisco. To say it was mayhem is putting it lightly. There were lines stretching for blocks as people waited for hours just to get on a bus. Even the ferries were sold out.
I was lucky that my bus stop wasn’t crowded, and soon after I arrived, a bus pulled up that still had space. As we made our way toward The City, the bus gradually filled until it was completely packed. In that moment, I chose to enjoy the scenic route, taking in the quiet beauty of the ocean and the different city views as we traveled across the bridge to San Francisco.
Despite the chaos around me, I felt peace. I didn’t know how I would get back home, but I trusted that I would. Moments like that remind me of little lessons I’ve learned in the past that tend to return when I need them most.
Right now, we’re living through uncertain times. I can’t say I know how everything will unfold, but something within me keeps saying, It’s going to be okay. I may not know when I’ll live in a space that holds everything I’ve dreamed of, but I believe it will come. I may not know when I’ll reconnect in-person with the deep, soul-nourishing friendships I’ve built, but I know we’ll figure it out in this new normal.
That day on the bus, I didn’t know how I was getting home, but I was grateful that Spirit made a way for me to get to work. And I trusted that Spirit would guide me back home too. And it did.
Sometimes, you don’t have all the answers. Sometimes, all you can do is look at what you do have, and what you do know, and go from there. Every day, I take the steps that are certain and trust that the unclear ones will be revealed when the time is right.
One moment at a time. One step at a time. That is how I choose to live now. It brings me peace to know that I don’t have to know everything at once. And it gives me permission to enjoy what is already here.
Love you lots, Sacred
Finally Loving Life
