The Three Things I Will Always Know

Life is filled with movement. There are the ups, the downs, the old and the new. People and things are constantly being replaced by new people and new things. Experiences move forward, and eventually come to an end or create a new beginning out of themselves.

Despite this constant kinetic energy that life generates, we have the tendency to feel stagnant at times. Like we can’t get our feet moving forward, no matter how hard we try. We just can’t quite seem to grasp the lesson and move on. Or pick up our feet and carry on. We get stuck on something, or rather in something. Unable to move, unable to make enough sense of our surroundings or the direction we are headed.

What does it mean to us, where we're going, if we can’t even figure out where we are? What does the journey have to do with our current situation when we're stuck somewhere, unsure of how to continue? If there's no movement, is there also no progress? 

I can't answer those questions, but I can tell you this. The future holds a place in our lives. Obviously not a conscious one, but a space in which we are leaving life up to something bigger. We don’t have to have everything figured out to move onward, we don’t have to possess the map and the answers to what lies ahead. We don’t need to plot it, to plan it, to design it out. We don’t need to know where we are headed to move forward. All we need is the faith in the knowledge that we will get to where we need to be as long as we are conscious of where we are now, not where we are headed.

If you know where you stand, just where you are in this moment, you will survive. If you know where you stand with yourself, with your life, with the goals and aspirations you hold in your heart right this second, you will know how to get there. No directions needed. So then what is in that space, the space that the future holds? If it’s not answers or directions, what takes up that space? It’s the hope we have for something great. It’s the knowing that we will get there, not the knowing of when or how but the knowing that we will eventually know what everything means. It's a space we reserve for the time in which we do figure things out. A space for all options and all outcomes to take. A place to know there is an extraordinary future in front of us, no matter what the story turns out to be.

I am sure of only three things in this life. In every life. The sun will come out. The moon will come out. The truth will come out. You will always have a sense of direction, innately installed in your spirit. The only thing you have to acquire is the faith, the blind knowing, the FEELING that your truth will come out. So long as you know of the three things that will always come out, you will know how to always continue onward with your journey. Not a day passing you by taking a thing from you and not a moment being wasted on the stagnant debate of the ever chattering mind.

Have faith in the sun, have faith in the moon. But most importantly have faith in your own truth. No matter how hidden it may seem now, you will figure it out. You will find your way. And it will be magnificent. It will be beautiful. It will be your new present moment as the cycle completes and begins again. Everything you hoped and dreamed will gracefully turn into everything you know. 

Happy Eclipse season <3
