Finding Peace with Fall From Grace **
I have struggled finding peace with the fall from grace which happened some years back. So many plans got thwarted, so much seems lost.
I have done several inquiries on it, I have stayed with whatever emotions and other experiences come up around it, I have set the intention of it to unravel and clear, and it has helped - but some remnants of the regrets are still there.
Today, I suddenly saw clearly that my specific role is to find peace with this particular life.
It seems so simple, yet it hit me like a ton of bricks. And there was a huge relief and sense of coming home in it. Finally, this is what my role is - at least in relation to this life situation.
I don't need to process it to death and harvest every little gift and nutrient in it (although I will most likely continue to do that). I can just find peace with it as it is. That in itself is my role.
I can find peace in not completely finding a resolution to it. It is OK.
And of course, this is not just about me. This is the role we each have: to find peace with our particular life. And to demonstrate how to find peace with this particular life. We are all teachers for each other in this.
