From a dear friend

To feel that you can control – in the sense of ensuring that everything works out exactly how you want it when you want it – is madness and a lot of wasted effort. I have seen for myself that life is just a dance – and the more you play and are open to the fact that everything is brought to you to teach you something or show you even more wonder, the more sparkly it becomes. Does it hurt sometimes – you bet! Does it get bumpy occasionally – yep! Does it lead you to places and people that if you’d really been in control you absolutely knew you wouldn’t have met, spoke to or even admired their notebooks? – you bet!
My dear friend sometimes just sometimes not getting what you want is the greatest stroke of luck (Dali Lama) – smile knowing you have experienced something unbelievably special, be warmed by the love you both feel for each other (that doesn’t just disappear because someone got into a tin box that quite staggeringly manages to glide through the sky...now that’s scary!) and be open to the possibility of seeing that right now the only thing you have to do is remember what an amazing person you already are (yes YOU!)– and that whatever happens next, will be the baby step to something even more unbelievably exciting.....if only you just stop long enough for it to catch up with you!
