Trusting in goodness

Everything has to do with loving and not loving. Rumi

Sometimes we know things better when we get some moments of calm. We can sense things easier. We see that there is something profound in people, something that yearns. It is sometimes covered up by fear and defences. It can get hassled and rushed. But it is there. We do not necessarily know what to call it.  But that “something” is good.

You sense it on a quiet morning, sitting with a coffee, when thoughts about the meaning of this life come easy. And after thoughts the memories  come…… warm memories, about the goodness of people, their smile and the love that has been given to you in your life.

And you can trust. You sense that, somewhere,  beneath the daily routine, beyond the constant planning you engage in, goodness is slowly coming into being. Your sitting may be nothing more than getting out of the way and allowing that happen. You see that kindness and love is what you seek, and it is never far away.  You see this clearer as you get older.  It has been constant all your life. It is the same in those you love. And it comes closer and closer.
