Musings of a meandering monk
I've discovered time and again that when I have no choice but to go with the flow, the flow carries me where I wanted to go or somewhere better.
I found myself in a situation this past week: still looking for employment, no longer welcome to park at my son's (because of the landlord, not the son) and running real low on funds. Having a doctor's appointment in Columbia on Tuesday, I decided to wait until then, and see what Columbia had to offer after the appointment. Found a couple of places to put in applications and then decided to stop by Unity Center, a church I worked for back in the early 90s. Spoke to the church administrator, laid out my situation to him, hoping he could recommend someone who would let me park next to their home. He suggested I park in the church lot - let me plug into an outdoor outlet for electricity, gave me a key so I could get in to use the restroom and kitchen, and even gave me a $20 card to use for gas/groceries at a convenience store. A temporary solution, of course, until I can make other arrangements, which I'm hoping will come thru today when I attend services.
There was a potluck dinner Friday night which a couple of people invited me to come to - and I met up with several people I knew from before as well as enjoying a good meal and program.
Still looking for the job - but in the meantime, paid readings online are up, and I've listed a meditation download on lulu.com for sale, which several have expressed interest in.
So off I go to church, with the intent of enjoying the company and the message - no other expectations. Rolling down the river
ps: Gotta love synchronicity. The minister's message this morning was on here and now, being in the flow, grace. I walked away with this thot: I can moan and groan about what all isn't right (and that list would probably be fairly long if I chose to make it) or I can rejoice in anticipation of the good coming into my life (and that list is blank because I choose not to limit it). In the minister's words 'I open my sails and let the breezes of Spirit guide me to my destiny.'
