Trust and Perfect Timing

Trust is … that what I need to know shows up for me – at the perfect time, in the perfect way.

I was walking along the beach and talking to a friend about my ‘shame monster’ – the image I see in my mind’s eye when I process the emotion of shame in my mind-body practice. My ‘shame monster’ looks like a black octopus that wants to hide. Just then we looked up and what did we see? A gigantic black octopus kite flying in the sky over the sand. I pointed and said “Look, there it is.” Amazing divine providence. I’ll take it as a message to be willing to release the need for my shame monster.
