I often wonder if it’s going to be OK. If I think too much, like of all the possible disasters tomorrow can bring, it feels like it’s not going to be OK. If my mind is quiet, and I am internally still, I feel like a child who has been “tucked in” by a cooing mother, safe and sound within the bosom of Love. Then, it’s OK.
I often wonder if it’s going to be OK. When I hear sirens in the distance, or I get involved in a contentious conversation, I feel like “everything” is not OK, and that I should be very afraid of the world and of the future.
I often wonder if it’s going to be OK. When I’m in the backyard on a beautiful evening, sitting in my Adirondack chair, the breeze rustling in the trees and brushing up against my face, I feel nothing could be more OK than this. When I pet the dog, and she looks up at me with those golden, almond eyes – I feel the very face of God looking back saying, “All is well. It’s ALL OK, and I love you too.”
I often wonder if it’s going to be OK. When I used to look at the headlines, when I used to be on social media, it was not OK. The world is in danger when I looked at my devices. When I look into the night sky, the sunset, the eyes of a loving dog, or a flower – it’s all OK.
If you wonder if it’s going to be OK, meditate, practice music, or pet your dog in your backyard, Adirondack chair. Or look at the sky. If you want things to be OK – do those things that make you feel OK, and everything becomes OK. That’s how you change the world.
