Love Always Wins, But. . .

The sticker on the car proclaims "Love always wins. . ." and I instinctively found myself in agreement.  With a caveat. . .

And inherently I believe that good comes out on top. . .with a caveat.

Let's acknowledge this.   The idea that "love always wins" or that "good comes out on top" isn't always to our timeline (which usually means right now) or even necessarily to our specifications (and our wishes can be extremely precise).

What if our passions aren't fulfilled right now?  Are we okay?  Can we wait?

What if life doesn't unfold exactly the way we want?   What are our alternatives?   Are we open to the options?

Do disappointments stop the show?   Or do we keep going?   Do we re-calibrate?

Do we ask ourselves how we move forward and then allow ourselves to move on?

What is our philosophy of life?   That anything beyond what we imagine is designed to disadvantage us?   That we can only hope and pray for good things to happen, but essentially are powerless to make these things happen for ourselves?

Can we believe that by its very design life is a series of events, some of which will bring us joy, some of which will disappoint us.  Can we navigate through this?

Are we willing to change our definitions or even our aspirations so that our souls are nurtured?

Love always wins. . .our passions can be fulfilled, but. . .

Good and life and love don't always work according to our plans.

This often requires adjustment.

It most certainly requires patience.

And a persistent belief that it is all worth the journey.
