Messages in the universe

 Sometimes a message seems to resonate all around you--you may feel messages like these more than directly hear or read these messages. This happens to me now and then, and typically a few weeks after the initial feeling, I learn about what was happening. Messages like this occur when what's going on around you simply doesn't add up--circumstances are unusual, different, or illogical. When this happens, you wonder, What's really going on?

The latest round of this mysterious messaging included signals like this:

  • an individual acting in an uncharacteristic way
  • another individual making an uncharacteristic choice
  • still one more, responding to a situation in an unusual way
  • strange silence in a few other situations
All of these signs alert me to the fact that there are one or more situations going on that are somewhat secretive, mysterious, and out of the ordinary. What could those situations be? I suspect that in each case the situations include these elements:
  • an embarrassing event - the kind of event people don't like to share or discuss
  • a controversial event - the kind of event that people have strong feelings about--perhaps a political event or personal decision
  • an unsavory event - the kind of event that one most likely would disagree with and perhaps be upset by
In general, when the universe sends me signals like this, in time, I find out what really happened. One time it was an injury that a loved one suffered from and another time it was a disagreement that most family members knew about, but that I was not privy to. In each case, the truth was that I didn't have to know about the situations, but not knowing made life uncomfortable and somewhat hurtful as knowing sooner than later would have been more inclusive and positive than being left out of the information. 

I tend to meet truth head on, and for some, that's uncomfortable. They prefer a quiet embrace of truth particularly when truth is difficult, controversial, upsetting, or hurtful. In these cases, people often don't want to readily share the information right away or at any time. As a researcher of family history, I've realized that some difficult truths are never shared or known by most in a family--that's more difficult today with the ready access to information we have via the Internet, but we know secrets still exist. 

So when I went to bed last night, I was bothered by whatever message or messages are swirling around me right now. It's not a message that pertains to my immediate family, but one or more distanced from me. I also know that it's not a message that directly impacts my day-to-day life, but messages that I would likely have an opinion about. These are likely messages related to secretive behavior, decisions, choices that impact friends or relatives who don't live close by, but people who I love and care about. Time will tell. Onward. 

Moving beyond the sadness and worry

 If you read my blog, you know I've been very sad and worried about a loved one lately. His care needs are extensive and the needed ener...
