This morning when I looked into this pot, I noticed a new jasmine seedling. When did that happen?! The last time I checked, there was nothing. Then all of a sudden, new growth! I couldn’t figure it out and decided that it didn’t matter. Maybe I don’t need to understand. Instead, I can just be in awe.
Sometimes we cannot understand the how or why about certain situations. Maybe we will never understand. As someone who often performs mental gymnastics trying to figure things out, it’s exhausting.
It feels freeing to let it go. Giving myself permission to only observe and maybe enjoy the mystery without the understanding.
Revel in the miracle of it. Remove the analysis. As a Virgo lawyer, that’s extremely counterintuitive. But better for my mental health. Especially as we head into Round Two of the Trump Era. I cannot understand it. And as part of this country literally burns to the ground, the weight of it all is very heavy.
We are all born into a particular era. So apparently this is the timeline that I’m supposed to be in. Maybe I have something specific to contribute. Maybe I’m supposed to observe and learn. Probably a little bit of both.
January is coming to and end, but the year is still as fresh and new as this jasmine seedling. So I have to be open to what 2025 has in store. Future me knows and hopefully she’ll give me some guidance.
I haven’t seen any posts from you on my feed for so long – it’s good to see you and your thoughts again! I like your take on this new heavy year and regime we’re facing. And about not always analyzing things – something I generally like doing. But I can see the value in just watching for a while and letting things unfold.
Angelina – Thank you for stopping by and for your comment! Wonderful to see you here. The algorithm is not my friend! I barely see people that I follow either and mostly have a feed of suggestions. Many of them are good, but would be nice to see people that I actually follow. I guess it’s doing the same for us all. Ah, technology….
