Trusting the Process
January the first came and went… and no new poem amongst your emails for January, 2025?
Really???
Though I have, this year, quit making New Year’s Resolutions, I can only say I will work toward being more timely.
A lot happened last year over which we seemed not to have much control… the wars all over the world, the U. S. Elections, extreme weather, to name a few… not to mention the misinformation that slips into one’s consciousness when we’re not paying attention…
I spoke with my dear friend Ann Barclay about it. She’s a Counselor in Maine, and one of the most practical minded people I know. (We speak on the phone from time to time, but haven’t seen one another for nearly 15 years; yet, when we do speak, it’s as if we just sat at the same table and had a cup of coffee together this morning… you know… that kind of friend.)
“TRUST THE PROCESS” is one of her favorite sayings… While writing a poem about trusting the process doesn’t change anything about the world around me, it gives me some insight into how to look at my life, and helped me relax the reins a little bit. Hope you enjoy it.
And by the way, whatever the question, LOVE is always the answer… a good thing to remember.
TRUSTING THE PROCESS
People you lean upon to assist you through the “hard times”
(And you’ll have them now and then — they come to us all)
Will listen and ask questions that only you can answer…
You’ll get a bigger picture to make a better call.
The key to success is to trust the process.
Stay focused, and never lose sight of your goal.
With unwavering belief in your abilities
Your path to victory is within your control.
Sometimes, it’s the journey… the path you take…
That teaches you a lot about your destination.
As Winnie-the-Pooh says, “Life is a journey
That’s to be experienced, not a problem that brings agitation.”
Trust there is a purpose and meaning to your challenges.
It really is all rigged in your favor, you know.
Things can go wrong for all the right reasons.
Good things are always on time. Mind the flow!
