oh goodness me

you know sometimes, things happen that render me speechless, or to be honest, drive me to tears, in the face of what can only be called grace.

it's not like some big bang, it can happen so inconspicuously, so subtly, that if you hadn't been up for it all along, you would never have known how much the universe had shifted. it's like an earthquake where the earth never moved. something like how Phivolcs says the Philippines experiences ten earthquakes a day that are hardly felt.

it's like an all-pervading kindness that just watches out for you, no matter how long it takes. slowly, the continental plates shift and come back together in new arrangements you could hardly have imagined. and it's not you either because contrary to what we all know to be true -- that the solar system actually revolves around each of us, rather than the sun, hehe -- it's all about all of us.

it's also about paying attention. and attending to what comes up that is for you to attend to. i attend to what is so obviously for me to do, and the rest just takes care of itself.

we just each have roles to play in the service of something that can only be Goddess/God.
