“Perhaps
our dreams are there to be broken, and our plans are there to
crumble, and our tomorrows are there to dissolve into todays, and
perhaps all of this is all a giant invitation to wake up from the
dream of separation, to awaken from the mirage of control, and
embrace whole-heartedly what is present. Perhaps it is all a call to
compassion, to a deep embrace of this universe in all its bliss and
pain and bitter-sweet glory. Perhaps we were never really in control
of our lives, and perhaps we are constantly invited to remember this,
since we constantly forget it. Perhaps suffering is not the enemy at
all, and at its core, there is a first-hand, real-time lesson we must
all learn, if we are to be truly human, and truly divine. Perhaps
breakdown always contains breakthrough. Perhaps suffering is simply a
right of passage, not a test or a punishment, nor a signpost to
something in the future or past, but a direct pointer to the mystery
of existence itself, here and now. Perhaps life cannot go 'wrong' at
all.”
