There is no free will on the human level; everything is simply happening in the only way it can happen.

Grief and loss happen and we are desperate to control them out of our lives. Nevertheless, there is no free will.

Lack of control happens and we certainly can lay no claim to have control of this.

The mills of the gods grind exceedingly fine. So goes the old statement. In other words, justice happens, but on a far higher level than we know anything about.

Is life hopeless? Only as long as we feel we are entitled to control. Once we surrender, a sigh of relief should be experienced.

Hope is now placed in higher hands than our desperate attempts to achieve control.

Gratitude may arise as we let go and let God. Or it may not. Both are out of our control.

Life is intricately connected and we need not know the how or the why. It just is.

I am grateful to be writing to you and yet the persona is not the Self

The Self runs our lives in imperceivable ways.

Rejoice for now we can all be set free.

Life is throbbing in your chest right now.

Let it be.
