As we approach the experience of being able to move past circumstances there is a certain level of surrender that occurs.  We concede to how things turnout.  We acknowledge that hopefully we did the best we could given the circumstances and we are now being with the result.  The alternative is to fight how things turn out. Fighting reality is not my strong suit so I have little evidence of it being a good idea or fruitful in any way.  It does not mean things will not change or that we cannot make a different decision after the turnouts, but it does mean continually accepting this as they are.  How can we move forward without knowing where we are?  If we learn how to be with things as they turnout, we can then make an honest assessment about how we feel about it and what if anything to do next. The turnout gives us a chance to pause and be without trying to change anything. Turnouts can also be ways life takes us down a path we could not envision.  The beauty of my daily dates with God is the opportunity to be in the moment.  I get to practice the opening of a new day in a certain level of uncertainty greeted by the presence of love. We like to think we know how things are going to turn out, but how often have we been surprised?  How often do we allow ourselves to be surprised? How often do we allow ourselves to believe love will turnout no matter what.
