Recycling of Life

Today the path I am on is foggy and it’s hard to see where I’m going or whether there is a purpose to this twisted journey.   It can be so easy to become discouraged and tempting to turn back.  However, I want to remember the many times in the past I have experienced similar days and with time, trust, forgiveness and patience I found myself exactly where I needed to be.    


In so many ways life is the great 'recycler'.  Nothing has been wasted.  Situations I think are useless and need to be thrown out, end up serving important purposes for me.  Often I want to hurry up and forget people who have hurt or let me down, but upon reflection I realize they are the ones that have taught me the greatest lessons about loving.  The moments I have felt disappointed and believed myself a big failure, later on I find have offered the opportunity I needed to discover who I really am.  Time and experience seem to transform what I think of as the waste of my life into the precious stuff of me.  So, today as I sit on the compost pile thinking I’m a mess, who knows the magic that’s emerging.
