Story Circles

I've been reading a book called Everyday Sacred, which I found in the reading room at my church (church is a whole new thing to me... and for another day).  This quote stuck out to me.  My life is full of surprising and fun stories, but sometimes I get frustrated at the wandering journey and the endless circles I seem to spin.

I also get lost... a lot. 


"Stories move in circles. 
They don't go in straight lines. So it helps if you listen in circles. There are stories inside stories and stories between stories, and finding your way through them is as easy and as hard as finding your way home. 
And part of the finding is the getting lost. 
And when your're lost, you start to look around and to listen."

Right now, I am simply working on finding new circles, the beauty of the ones I have, and also to not run endlessly in futile ones.  Sometimes you just have to let go to the universe and  trust it's plan.  


Trust that what is right will come back around again.
