Divine Timing

Decisions, decisions.  How do you know that you are making the right decisions? In the moment, when all the emotions are heightened, when all the energies are swirling around you, how do you know?

I was back in Illinois this weekend for the holiday and my adorable little grandson's birthday party. Once again, with spring and the Midwest, severe storms were popping in almost every day.

A storm came in on Sunday evening and conditions were right for heavy rains and even more frightening, tornadoes.  Frightening, or thrilling? Yes.  I love watching the storms come in.

But there is another thing that goes down in the Midwest when these storms come in. The drama surrounding you, on the television, emergency alert systems and such can heighten the fear, or it can make you say, "Meh, nothing much to see here except a little rain.  These alerts go off all the time and"nothing" ever really happens."

The signals come in, the storm brews, and we dismiss the volatility of the situation.  We choose to ignore the data coming in.  We sit around and watch the storm pass us by.  Hopefully.

And this serves us well, until it doesn't.  Like for the person that had been in a car we saw banged up and sitting askew in the ditch along Highway 127 as we headed back to Greensboro yesterday.  Obviously, a tornado or at least some very powerful damaging winds had come through the night before leaving power lines down and barns and buildings destroyed.

Turns out that my niece, who was also driving home through that same area during that same storm was about 15 minutes ahead of the eye of that energy vortex.  While she was driving, she was on the phone with my sister, her mom.  

I overheard the conversation and my sister was suggesting that my niece pull over to wait out the heavy rains that were making it difficult to see as she was driving.  But my niece drove on anyway.  Now whether this was ignoring the warnings or heeding the advice of her own soul, I don't really know. But what I do know, what I do believe, is that it was divine timing.

I believe the same can be said for the energetic "weather maps" of our lives.  Sometimes things are calm.  Sometimes things are sunny.  Sometimes things are stagnant.  Sometimes things are cold.  And there are undeniably those times when it feels like all the shit is hitting the fans. It feels like it is do or die.  It feels like an energetic choice point where we "get" to decide.  Do I stay?  Do I go? Do I take cover and hide? Do I stand and watch?  Where is it safest for me to be?  

How can I take a reasonable, calculated risk that lends itself to my soul growth?  How can I choose a thing that might feel dangerous because of the energy surrounding it, but in truth will bring me so much joy if I stand and immerse myself in it, knowing, trusting, that if ever the energetic weather was really dangerous, if it was toxic or threatening in any way, I could be able to trust my inner knowing and make a decision that would move myself to safety, if I trust?

If you have been hanging around my blog for any period of time, you know that I love SLT.  Steve's Love Tarot.  The irreverent, spot on energy alignment specialist who seems to be tapped into my very own soul story that is unfolding or I'm just batshit crazy.  But I don't think so.

I've been having these older videos of his pop up this weekend... timeless readings as he says, because we are all moving on different timelines.  Well, I believe it.

And if you have been hanging around my blog for any period of time, you also know that I am bat shit crazy about synchronicities.  Well today I got another one.

Today, I knew that I wanted to write another post because yesterday's post and the possible energetic repercussions of that topic made me feel more than a little bit spiritually responsible for changing the energetic flow of the situation.  Not necessarily a rewrite, (I still believe that honesty is my best policy), not even a plot twist, but maybe just a little story line adjustment.  That's all. To lighten things up a little bit, if you can call divine timing and skirting by your potential demise "lightening".  No pun intended.  Ha!

So anyway, this morning I had already typed in Divine Timing as the title for this post because of some messaging I was "getting" from my intuition this morning and because I absolutely believe that Divine Timing is the only way.  Forcing anything to be or do or last before or beyond or outside of its time is spiritual sabotage.

And long story short, here's what an old random, timeless SLT video that showed up in my feed this morning had to say (and I shall paraphrase)..."Waiting for the 'right' storm of energy to come around is crucial, otherwise you fail.  It's like being in a slipstream, when the energy is right, you can easily access flow.  You win.  You can grab your umbrella and go out and dance in the puddles to your hearts content."

A lot of truth here I believe.  The energy of my morning is...well, I'll put it this way... choice points, learning, healing, faith and justice. 

And there is so much more to this story but it just cannot all be said here.  It would probably take a thousand years or more because the inside story of this tale has probably been going on for at least that long and probably longer.  Only "divine" time will tell.  

And although it might seem a little bit arbitrary, it might be important too, so I wanted to include a quote from a song that popped in during that timeless SLT reading which was important enough for Steve to mention so who am I to decide not to mention it here too.

"In your letter... you said you didn't want me, you said you didn't need me, but you could have said it better"...REO Speedwagon.

If you have been following this blog for any period of time you know that I love letters.  I love music.  I love dancing.  

If you know me at all, you know that I want to go dancing in the puddles, no matter what your letter said, with or without an umbrella, but if I had my druthers, I'd choose with, because I  believe in twirling the damn thing for all it's worth, feeling like I'm in the movie, singing and dancing like a million bucks, just like Fred and Ginger.

And who knows.  Maybe somewhere out there where the timing is divine, where the timing is right, we are dancing up a storm and loving it.  Somewhere...🌈

Bonus... for whoever needs it
