LET LIFE HAPPEN

Lately I have been getting this inward message "just let life happen". I hear those words when I want to know why something is happening or why I've had a particular encounter, or why I've run into someone. "Just let life happen", the voice inside of me says.When I try to force a resolution before its time, when I want to understand why I'm in a certain situation or relationship. I hear it, "just let life happen". I like to read the end of novels when I'm half way through the book. I lose my patience with the details and want to know, "how does the story end?".

I am always working overtime, in my life, to "understand" and "figure out" what things mean. Mentalizing life takes all the joy out of it. I need to "just let life happen" in order to see how the story ends.
