Do not be afraid of your own raw nakedness; in fact, aspire to it. Let the world do its thing, even if it is circling the drain as it is right now.

Do not interfere with your pain for it has something to teach you.

Let it be.

Do not interfere with your confusion as it can result in surrender.

Let it be.

Do not interfere with your body’s wisdom even if it is unsettling.

Let it be.

Do not interfere with God’s will for you even if you want to fight against it.

Let it be.

But how will I know it is God’s will for me?

Surrender to the mystery for how long it takes. That is God’s will for you.

The mystery of loving both life and death gives way to the resurrection.

You will continually die and be reborn, knowing that love is who and what you are.
