One day, or even twelve, is a short time to keep it together. It’s a short time to act a certain way or do what seems right. The real trick is in doing it for the long haul. I have to either quit acting or do what is right. It’s too hard to keep up a facade or constantly evaluate whether or not I can get away with something. So I have to trust that, if I don’t try to manipulate the thing that it will still work out.
Of course that means I have to keep an open mind about what is meant by “working out.” Sometimes I don’t have the whole picture and what works for me doesn’t work for everyone. As the Dude says, “Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes, you know, …” My getting eaten is just fine with the bear, and it may be fine for the world. If I am going to live comfortably in that world, I’m going to have to trust that it is working out. I need to abide.
