You\u2019re minding your own business, everything is humming along, and wham-o<\/em>, something \u201chappens.\u201d A death, a loss, a mechanical failure, an idea, an opportunity – they all seem to arise, like a hiccup. We often brush off those seemingly surprising phenomena by saying they came \u201cout of the blue.\u201d What is this, this unnamable location we gloss over as \u201cthe blue?\u201d Couldn\u2019t you argue that everything comes from out of the blue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Predictability is an illusion. It’s a mere expectation of the past. The past is known, the future is unknown; yet we live according to what we know – the past<\/em>. The future is out of our hands. Stick to what you know – the past, and learn from it; then the future – leave it up to the wild blue yonder. You can be diligent and do your work, but don\u2019t hold the future hostage. It\u2019s wiggly and organic, and it will squirm out of your expectant mind. It does it’s own thing. Don’t panic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A hatching egg is no more of a surprise to the universe than the breakout of a war or the collapse of the Stock Market. The secret is to marvel at the surprising nature of all future happenings. If they go your way, fine – but never expect them to. The very nature of life, a sign of vibrancy, is unpredictability. You don\u2019t really want everything to be thus and so, do you? What a bore! Whatever is popping out all of these happenings, \u201cout of the blue\u201d surely has one intention – to keep you guessing, to get your attention, to keep you moving; so it must have some meaning. Don\u2019t be surprised if something \u201cout of the blue\u201d starts to get your attention. Go with it. You’re not calling all of the shots – many of them are coming from the blue yonder.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Wednesday, July 19, 2023 You\u2019re minding your own business, everything is humming along, and wham-o, something \u201chappens.\u201d A death, a loss, a mechanical failure, an idea, an opportunity – they all seem to arise, like a hiccup.
