I subscribe to this nifty daily email called "Notes from the Universe" from this interesting site. Some days they are kind of hokey and some days they hit the nail right on the head. Yesterday's note was this:

When you see things that pain you, Lisa, that sadden you, or that make your heart ache, remember... you're not seeing all.

I hope you never need this one.

All love,
The Universe

That's kind of how I looked at Lauren's passing. I am not seeing "the all" of the situation and while I am sad about her not being here any longer (and that, my friends, is an understatement), I know there's a much larger picture that I don't see and reasons why things go down as they do. And I may never know. I just have to trust that there are reasons for these things and keep looking for the lessons in them for me.

I think you'll find I talk about "lessons" quite a bit. The more I learn about the nature of the woo woo, the more I see that things don't happen randomly and, going with yesterday's post, if we pay attention, there's so much to see and learn from. You come into the world with lessons to learn and the Universe presents you a myriad of ways to "get it". Each time you fail to find the lesson for you inherent in the situation, the Universe is compelled to show you again but this time a tad more clearly (i.e.: a larger THWAK! on the head). Thwacks hurt, y'all. This I know well.

We can't know "all" but we can know our little piece of it and pay attention. (OOOH! There's that subject again!)

Happy Wednesday!
