Dear S E R E N D I P I T Y,
I’m so glad You’re always
along, like the gentlest tap on my shoulder when I’ve gone wandering and need
to pay attention. You’re like a wise companion who simply knows The Way without
having the least little brain cramp. You are Trust. Faith. Always true. Always.
I have my moments, for
sure, when I think I NEED TO KNOW and have a detailed plan of action. When I
assume that EVERYONE ELSE knows, so I should, too. And it is in these moments
that I need You most. I need Your reminders about the times when I thought all
was doomed. The times when things just fell together when I thought they had
fallen apart. Broken. Shattered in way too many pieces to EVER put them
together again.
I need You this year. I
need Your calm and laughter. I need Your insight. Your prompting. A little
nudge Now & Then, when I am waiting and should BE acting or I am fiddling
and should instead Let Go. Stop. Simply. NOW.
I’ve seen You in the
strangely beautimous ways You so often appear. The phone call I wasn’t
expecting, the odd email landing in my emailbox, a conversation where a door
was thrown wide open. I know how You love to surprise me, sometimes even by a Something
Happening I really don’t like one bit. Always, ALWAYS I get to the other side
and see Your trademark shining through.
While I am sure that You
have many, more many than I can fathom, others to bless and travel BEside, I am
hoping You won’t stay away from me too long. That when I think, I’ve got it and am All That, tempting myself
to “take it from here” that You will BE the wisdom that sets me back in focus…
Thank You for all that You’ve
done, all that You’ve orchestrated and choreographed on my BEhalf. Especially
that. I know I have given You fits, so I am especially glad You don’t give up
on me, don’t take Your Happy Accidents and go away. Forever.
And oh, by the way, yes,
YES!!! Absolutely, ADVENTURE is always welcome. I guess I’m saying so as sort
of an afterthought, but that’s only BEcause the past 6 years have had a LOT of
Adventure, bordering on the sometimes Too Much. But by all means, PLEASE DO
bring Her along. I’ll admit, some of Her challenges have been just one step
over that line, but then, without stepping over some of those “lines” I’d never
EVER have got Here, Now.
All the wonder I seek is
within YOU, Serendipity, my friend and companion…
Love YOU,
Currie

Currie, I love your point about all the times you didn't see how something would work out but it always did. It's great to remember that when we can't see our way through! Also love your mentioning the reality that sometimes there can be too much adventure, but that doesn't mean we want to dispense with adventure altogether (only kind of, LOL). Great piece!
Thanks so much, Sue. You know, I always think I KNOW how these prompts or ventures will go, but never once have I NOT been surprised and slightly astonished. The Year With Myself is quite the Adventure and impossibly wonder-FULL!!!
Currie, this is such a beautiful piece. I would never deny adventure though. I love it (: perhaps because I haven't experience too much of it!
What a wonderful thing to hear this this morning!! I'd almost forgotten about this... And how kind of you to BE the catalyst to bring me back to it. I've just had another visit from Adventure, and realise that I, too, won't ever deny her, even when she is like riding a roller coaster...
