“The basic laws of the universe are simple, but because our senses are limited, we can’t grasp them. There is a pattern in creation.” Albert Einstein
We might believe that life is messy by nature. But that’s because it looks messy from where we are standing.
All we see is this fear-inducing random and unpredictability of it all. Thus we believe we have to impose order over that which have no control.
But life has its own internal ordering system, one which we can’t see or appreciate in any given moment. So even when things seem disordered around us, we need to trust that things will come together and move toward resolution. That there is already a kind of rearranging going on that is not immediately visible and which may not make sense to us in the moment.
So when things seem messy is the time to step back and allow things to be as they are. To not attempt to impose order through control. That will only lead to more frustration and misery for us, because it won’t work.
In those moments of apparent messiness is the time to trust the internal workings of life to resolve things in its own way and in its own time.
