No Matter What Happens

There is no greater power than to just be ok. No matter what happens.
– Mary Beth Felts

Admittedly, I dispel demons daily. The ones that have me question everything. The ones that bring doubt and then indecision to whatever I struggle to overcome. I find myself living in a place that feels surreal at times. I wonder how I arrived here and how sound my ability is to bring me out of where I am to a place my heart longs to be.
If I were a boat, it would be as if I garnered trust in the navigation system only to find myself in the midst of a violent storm with no alternative other than to trust that somehow, someway, and only by the Grace of God, would I weather through.
Storms just happen. They are not entirely avoidable, although we might wish they were.
To be of sound mind in the midst of the storm is the only way. To allow whatever happens to happen.
The storm lives within me, and so does the ability to accept what exists. Fighting is futile. The truth is, storms pass. Eventually.
The law of impermanence says that all things come and go, that you cannot cling to anything, not even pleasure, without also creating suffering.
Therefore, my quest…my eternal quest…that no matter what happens, I will be OK.
And so it is. And so I am. OK.
