Just in time ...

... as nature plans.

A compassionate attitude opens our inner door, and as a result it is much easier to communicate with others. If there is too much self-centered attitude, then fear, doubt and suspicion come and as a result our inner door closes. Then it is very difficult to communicate with others.
-Dalai Lama

My parents are coming in to town tomorrow afternoon. Their visit will be non-typical. They are staying at an RV park and only staying two evenings. We'll have a day and a half to visit. I saw them last in February 2009 when then hosted me and my brother during the week of my Dad's passing. It wasn't the ideal visit but I will for ever be grateful for their support during my stay.

So what dances in my mind since I learned of their visit just two mornings ago is; why does their visit have to be so short and why can't they stay with us. I'm trying to be open and allow what is be what it is. I'm thinking gratitude for their visit, as short as it may be. I'm thinking allowance for the change in lodging logistics as I'll still see them.

My ego wants me to be upset, disappointed, control the situation b/c It know 'better'. I'm breathing thru it, in with light out with darkness and know that I can chat with them tonight to confirm plans so I can further embrace this opportunity that could of not happened if they didn't call to see if we were around this weekend.

thank you universe for sending me the timely messages i needed.

palms together to all in the world
