"Starry Night", acrylic on masonite, by Toni Grote
Like
most of us, I have spent a significant amount of time concerned about my safety
and security, but sometimes it comes to me with clarity that this infinite and
friendly universe has me in its very good hands. The truth is that I am not a separate,
solitary person, but an essential and sheltered part of a single everlasting
force, sometimes called God, the Tao, or just the Universe – a force that is
always doing what is absolutely perfect for itself. If I close my eyes, I can
see my life as a waft in a wind that never started and will never stop, or a
wave in an endless ocean. How can this waft or this wave possibly be harmed?
They can change, certainly – every atom in this universe is constantly swirling
and transforming – but instead of fearing these changes, I should try to appreciate
them. This astonishing universe takes good care of uncountable atoms and cells
and particles, forever and ever, and it will take good care of that part of itself
currently called “me”. Trust it, Ham.
