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.

Trust Is Believing In The Divine Timing Of Things

Trust is … believing in the divine timing of things. 

I trust that even if I don’t get a glimpse of what is happening ‘behind the scenes’ , that there is a ‘behind the scenes’ – a mystery unfolding, a tapestry being woven. And one day, my eyes will be privy to seeing it all. By the Jewish year 6000 and G-d willing much sooner, all will be revealed. Until then, I do my part in revealing, elevating and transforming what I can.

Welcoming in the new Jewish year of 5777 – a time to have gratitude for the wisdom gained from last year’s journey and a time to embrace new wisdom to come.

Trust Is A Friend’s Care

Trust is … being picked up by a friend’s care.

“You’ve Got A Friend” by Carole King

‘When you’re down and troubled and you need a helping hand

and nothing, whoa, nothing is going right.

Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there

to brighten up even your darkest nights.’

King stated that “the song was as close to pure inspiration as I’ve ever experienced. The song wrote itself.”

Trust Is Prayers

I trust that prayers make a difference in the world. Intense Jewish holidays are happening soon and a lot of words are said – prayers, tehillim (psalms), blessings etc. Jewish mystical teachings illuminate that all these words are creating angels and purifying the air with holiness, increasing the amount of light in the world for a renewal of another year. I trust that though I don’t have the ability yet to see this light or angels that they are there making a difference spinning us into a new reality of complete health, abundance, peace, unity and goodness. May these upcoming days be a blessing for us all and may all suffering cease to exist.
