Waiting Patiently

When I look into your eyes
It's like watching the night sky
Or a beautiful sunrise
Well, there's so much they hold
And just like them old stars
I see that you've come so far
To be right where you are
How old is your soul?

Well, I won't give up on us
Even if the skies get rough
I'm giving you all my love
I'm still looking up

And when you're needing your space
To do some navigating
I'll be here patiently waiting
To see what you find
(Jason Mraz, I won't give up)

A Tao traveler will tell you that you are living in the best of all worlds. When you are connected, you see Her magic in action and when you are not, you are living out the game plan of the 'I' which is just perfect from a soul development perspective. We certainly have tricks for you to stay connected, like saying that God talks to you all the time, all you have to do is to listen. Yet there certainly are times when you are disconnected; just accept it, consider it as your time off. The 'I' needs some space to mature.

Sri Ramakrishna, the 19th century sage from India used to say that as long as the boy plays happily with his toys the mother will use the time to prepare the next meal. Yet, the moment when he starts screaming, she will drop everything and run to him. Use your space when it feels right, work on the mission you were born to do; play with the toys that give you pleasure and happiness and know that the Tao has just temporarily slipped out of your consciousness. She will reconnect with you whenever you are ready, waiting patiently.
